Signed "ULF WAHLBERG -96" lower right

The painting depicts a set dinner table on a veranda at dusk, overlooking a lake and a darkening tree line. On the table sit a plate of meatballs, lingonberries, and potatoes, bread, vegetables, and a small Swedish flag — details that give the scene a distinct sense of Swedish summer.

The work represents a later, more realist phase in Wahlberg's career, in which everyday Swedish subjects and atmospheric light took center stage.
