Mønsted's works from the 1880ies are particularly in demand and are considered to be among the best he executed. The quality in these is often very high with beautiful light, bright colours and razor-sharp reflections, many details and greatly overhauled - all resulting in a perfect three-dimensional illusion on the canvas. The painting here ranks with these works from the 80ies.
