The painting depicts the view of a mirror-like lake at sunset in Finland. In the foreground are some young pines and a half-uprooted stump. In the middle is a bay with wooded islets. To the left, a ridge runs diagonally across the picture.[2]
Edelfelt painted the picture from June to July 1889 in Tammela, Tavastia, at Saari's estate – owned by the family of his wife, Ellan de la Chapelle. The view is from Kaukolanharju ridge, North West of the straight between Pyhäjärvi and Kuivajärvi.[2]
The painting is on display at Ateneum in Helsinki, Finland.[1]
