Andreas Schelfhout (1787-1870) was apprenticed in The Hague to the decorative painter Joannes Henricus Albertus Antonius Breckenheijmer (1772-1856) and soon specialised in landscape painting but also narrative genre scenes. He became best known for his representations of the Dutch winter landscape. He was a prolific draughtsman and produced many watercolours. Schelfhout achieved a great success during his lifetime and had many pupils including members of the later Hague school such as Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891) and Johannes Franciscus Hoppenbrouwers (1819-1866).

This painting is a typical example of Schelfhout's famous summer landscapes in which an expansive landscape is stretched to the horizon dominated by a huge cloudy sky. The artist further strengthened the sense of depth by a subtle play of diagonal and horizontal lines and the superposition of patches of bright and darker hues. The highly detailed brushwork and jewel-like quality of the painting also recall the technique of the watercolour, an activity for which Schelfhout was famous and highly appreciated. This painting witnesses the long lasting influence of the seventeenth century Dutch tradition and the artists' persistent interest in nature and its atmospheric effects in Holland.
