In “Klar Juninatt” Astrup portrays a lush green landscape at the foot of a mountain. A water-lily-speckled pond is surrounded by vibrant green grass leading to a field of sunny yellow buttercups. A small cluster of log cabins points to human life within the idyllic setting of Ålhustunet in Jølster and Alhus vicarage where the artist resided for a time.
