Together with Axel Gallen-Kallela, Järnefelt made a number of depictions of lakes. According to Marjo-Riitta Simpanen at Gösta Serlachius Museum in Mänttö Finland, Järnefelt regularily held private exhibitions of his work in Helsinki.

Sold with the original gilt frame inscribed with the picture´s provenance on the reverse.
