This watercolor in light, lively, summery colors is in line with the equally marketable paintings Sunset with Fir and Spring over the Hills. As in these paintings, a double peak is the main motif of the picture here.
Through a skillful omission of pictorial spaces, Evard manages to suggest the reflecting water surface of the lake and the hot air above the mountains, so that one literally feels the summer heat. The omitted areas also have a contrapuntal effect and ensure a balanced harmony in the picture.
