The subject for this painting may have been inspired by a poem written by Robert Burns. Alfred Munnings describes the composition in his autobiography: '..a country couple, starring in the moonlight at a female phantom with outstretched arms, and a lovely head thrown back, appealing to the stars, her white robes trailing on the still water reflecting her luminous figure and the sickle moon.'
