From the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada:
This early painting reveals the influence of Camille Pissarro, who lived in Pontoise. Gauguin spent his vacations with the older artist and was probably at his side when Pissarro painted a similar view. A year after painting this work, Gauguin gave up his employment as a stockbroker, devoting himself to his art.
