"Among the pictures at Johanesen’s is also the little watercolour, that caused people to laugh, when I priced it at 300 kroner, while I simultaneously sold pictures of the largest formats for 50 and 100 kroner but I simply did not want to be separated from it, - it was painted at an early morning hour when I returned from a nocturnal visit with Engel, and it was her I envisioned in nature that bright spring night – it was not a “painting” – merely a notated thought or mood – very literary. – It was the period of raw atmospheres for me. I fought for my life and swore allegiance to the devil." (Nikolai Astrup, 1909–11–16)
