This painting delivers the vague feeling of approaching twilight. The clouds and distant mountain peaks are tinged with pink, but the foreground is already submerging into darkness. The mood is similar to that of “Mountain Tops” a Russian poem by Mikhail Lermontov.
Mountain heights are sleeping
Now in evening light
Mists are softly creeping
Down the valves of night.
The road’s dark and lonely:
Peace in leaf and tree…
Wait a moment only:
Peace will come to thee.
The motif of the tired traveler, returning to home and hearth after a long odyssey, can be heard in the rhapsody of this painting
