In 1927 Astrup describes the colours as follows – although without having seen the painting since 1911: “A Deep ultramarine sky with rather large polar stratospheric clouds. Moist brown, newly ploughed fields. Marigolds. Against the ‘blind-grey houses and other ‘brilliant’ colours (meadows) is a shrill loud red dress (worn by a little girl). Matte green field and a blue and white striped “” (worn by a little boy). Nearly black mountain shadow. An old willow tree full of sun-warmed air heavy with dust and mixed with yellow – in its silvery crown. The picture has unfortunately faded.” Whether this is true is unknown.
