Wyeth was fascinated by the overflow which sometimes occurred, and depicted this in several paintings, such as Dam Breast from 1970 as well as Evening at Kuerners from the same year. The ice was put in a nearby icehouse which worked as a refrigerator. The pond was used to farm fish and to cut ice from in the winter. Karl Kuerner, the owner of the Kuerner Farm, got the idea to build it after his children built a small pond to play with at the same location. The pond to the right in the picture features in several of Wyeth's paintings. In the foreground are also two leafless trees and a stream of water which runs from a nearby pond. The white farmhouse and a smaller outbuilding are depicted at sunset. It is one of Wyeth's paintings of the Kuerner Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
