About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Kitty Lange Kielland, this work epitomizes the mood of a Northern summer night. The composition balances the dark, silhouetted forms of the shoreline with the shimmering, reflective surface of the lake, punctuated by delicate lily pads and marsh grasses. Kielland, a pioneer among Norwegian women painters, captures the stillness of the Dælivannet lake with a masterful use of light and tonality.
