Turner visited the Swiss village of Arth, near Lucerne, in the summers of 1841 and 1842. The pencil outlines in this study likely were made on site, while the watercolor was applied later. Turner may have conceived this view as a pendant to Goldau, its cool tonality contrasting with the vivid red hues of the sky in that image.
