Blommér was one of the artists who wanted to create a national Swedish art in the mid-19th century with subjects taken from Norse myths and legends. Here, Blommér has painted fairies dancing in a meadow at twilight. In the background of the romantic landscape we see Gripsholm Castle. The painting was intended to be one in a series of four paintings illustrating the four seasons. These meadow fairies represented spring. Blommér died of pneumonia during a trip to Italy.
