This atmospheric drawing was likely executed around 1900–1905, and the motif probably derives from Lake Racken in Värmland, where Fjæstad built his house in 1902. Remarkably, the illusion of the moon is created solely by leaving the paper untouched.
Fjæstad usually painted directly before the motif or from photographs, making drawings of this kind exceedingly rare.
