| Notes |
Doughty's first version of the lake scene was said to be painted for Henry Pickering, a Hudson River poet. From this painting,
George B. Ellis engraved a print which illustrated the poem, "A Lake Scene", by Pickering which appeared in the 1827 gift
book, The Atlantic Souvenir. The Library Company's painting is a later version that differs slightly with the addition of
a pair of huntsmen.
