The image depicts two children seated on a rock, watching the evening sky reflected in the water. A solitary boat rests quietly at the water’s edge, with small islands visible in the background. The scene evokes a sense of timelessness and harmony, with the fjord serving as a nearly mirror-like backdrop.

Technical Details: Christoffersen employs soft lighting and deep shadows to enhance the atmosphere of serenity. The composition balances between the dark silhouettes in the foreground and the illuminated, still waters stretching towards the horizon. The use of light and shadow adds a pictorialist quality to the image.
