The image depicts a tranquil lakeside scene with majestic mountains in the background. In the foreground, there is a green and white rowboat on still lake waters where an individual sits at its stern, paddling leisurely. To the right of the boat, tall grasses and shrubs are visible along the shoreline.

A small wooden house or cabin nestles among trees near the water's edge, suggesting human habitation in this natural setting. The surrounding landscape is dominated by towering mountains with sharp peaks partially shrouded in mist, emphasizing their grandeur against a clear sky.

The color palette of the photograph features muted greens and browns for the vegetation, dark blues and grays for the lake and distant mountains, and soft pinks from what could be either sunrise or sunset hues. The overall atmosphere is serene and picturesque, evoking the beauty of nature in Tyrol during late 19th-century Austria-Hungary.

The image appears to have been printed on a postcard, as indicated by text at the bottom that reads "Plansee mit der Forelle" which translates from German to English as "Plansee with the trout," suggesting this could be Plansee Lake. The date range and source information imply it's part of a historical collection related to Austria-Hungary during its existence between 1867 and 1918, when it was known for such photographic prints capturing scenic landscapes like this one.
