Síle Connaughton-Deeny has written of this work:

 

'In a sense, this work is on the cusp of her trademark style yet still anchored in her earlier lyrical and, even earlier still, illustrative styles. The background is observational whilst the frozen body of water in the foreground is tending towards her modified, flight-of-fancy approach which will eventually result in her renowned bird's-eye view compositions.'
