The Last Painting is a page of the Return manuscript in Expansion 2: The Lake House.
Transcript[]
Rudolf Lane was dying. Both murderer and victim. Red hues ran down his hands. Was it scarlet? Or cadmium? Too vivid to be maroon.
Names don't matter, he decided. The color was pure, inspiring. For the first time in years, he wanted to paint. A self-portrait. To say goodbye. No. To make them remember. To make them see what they did.
He slapped his hands against the wall to steady himself. He began from there. No brush, just himself. The strokes were crude, violent. The pain, misery, and hate he had endured there - the fire in his eyes and hands and bones - all spread into the shape of a man.
It was a quick, natural, like a heart attack. He slumped down to the floor, smiling at the anger he left smeared across the wall.
Trivia[]
- Location: Lake House, level -?: Found on the floor in the hallway where Estevez meets the Painting the third time (after taking the elevator to sublevel 4 for the first time).
- All eight manuscript pages in The Lake House feature voiceover narration by Alan Wake when viewed.
- Although Kiran Estevez can view this page in-game, it cannot be collected. As a result, its name cannot be found in-game, and appears only in the Alan Wake 2 game files (string text table).
