The painting showcases his skill in rendering the play of light on water, the intricate reflections, and the lively activity of the sailors and townspeople.

It is celebrated for its historical value and artistic merit, contributing to Gude's reputation as one of Norway's most important and influential landscape painters. The painting is often highlighted in discussions of Gude's work for its representation of national identity and its role in the development of Norwegian romantic nationalism in art.
