The element of the solitary heron at the edge of sunlit tarn had first been used in 1865 for a picture titled Blea Tarn at First Light, Langdale Pikes in the Distance (private collection). The present picture demonstrates Grimshaw's close adherence to Pre-Raphaelite principles which is apparent in his early work but also permeated into the work of his more mature period.
