Signed and dated 1885, this work by Gabriel Loppé (1825–1913) shows the Dreieckhorn and Aletsch Glacier seen from the Maerjelensee, Valais.

The Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps, and the Maerjelensee, a glacial lake known for its striking blue-green colour and floating icebergs, together formed one of the most dramatic natural spectacles available to nineteenth-century Alpine travellers and painters. Loppé's dated 1885 composition captures this celebrated Valaisan viewpoint.

Collectors of Gabriel Loppé's work and of Aletsch Glacier/Maerjelensee views will find this a historically significant, precisely dated record of one of the Alps' most iconic glacial landscapes – though the medium and dimensions could not be confirmed from the available archive and should be verified before cataloguing.
