Exhibited: Charlottenborg 1869 no. 199. Kunstforeningen, “Udstilling af P. C. Skovgaards arbejder i 100 aaret for hans fødsel”, 1917 no. 342. Københavns Rådhus (Copenhagen City Hall), “Raadhusudstillingen af Dansk Kunst til 1890”, 1901 no. 1681. Charlottenborg, “Charlottenborg gennem hundrede år og Forårsudstillingen”, 1957 no. 144.
Literature: Henrik Bramsen, “Malerier af P. C. Skovgaard”, 1938, plate 52, mentioned p. 27.
Provenance: Supreme Court lawyer Liebe (1869). Mrs Privy Councillor Liebe (1901). Ms Mimi Liebe (1917, 1938). The New Carlsberg Foundation (1957).
The forest lake in the present painting is “Bondedammen” at Hellebæk - a lake that Skovgaard used as a starting point and motif for several of his late landscape paintings.
Skovgaard painted two versions of this motif; There is also a version from 1867 at the Skovgaard Museum (Inv. No. 10.143). In “P.C. Skovgaard - Dansk guldalder revurderet”, 2010, Peter Nørgaard Larsen writes about this painting (in Danish): “Few works by Skovgaard have the same clear reference to Claude Lorrain's pastoral landscapes and the Italianized Dutchman Jan Dirksz Both (ca. 1618–52), whose Arcadian landscape idylls Skovgaard probably knew from the Royal Danish Collection of Paintings or via etchings.” (p. 341).
