This piece is comprised of four distinct sections. The left third of the picture plane is contained by a rectangle with a bottom portion that implies perspective and leads the viewer into the rest of the picture plane. It contains a decorative pattern reminiscent of Gustav Klimt. The remaining two-thirds of the picture plane are further broken down into the three remaining sections. A horizontal rectangular area across the top contains three separate squares containing three circles depicting three different views of a house. Beneath this section is the main rectangular area depicting a clump of trees reflected in water next to a checkboard-pattern floor. This section is subdivided by the fourth rectangular section that contains tapetry-like patterns., View from the Studio; Jon Jay Cruson; State Capitol, Jon Jay Cruson is a N.W. artist who grinds, draws, etches, and pulls his own prints from the lithographic stone - on a hand cranked late 1800's press.
