A small painting of a body of water under full moonlight. There are green hills along the horizon, traces of red and yellow from a sunset over the hills, and yellow stars in the sky and reflecting on the water.
The painting was used as a postcard from Miss Florence to Miss Helen Clark on August 30, 1905, and reads: "Dear Helen, Hope you will like this little scene. Of course I am not an expert. Should like a pretty one in return. & since this is colored should like mine colored. Lovingly, Florence"
