František Kaván excelled in portraying different moods in the landscape. Influenced by the group around the Modern Revue, he temporarily deviated from realism in 1895 and moved towards symbolism and decadence. The presented painting probably comes from Kaván's calmer period, when he returned to realism after 1900 and resided in Vítanov and Železnica. Kaván's work is influenced by studying in the landscape studio of Julius Mařák, which he joined in 1889.
