Gauguin arrived at Osny, a northwestern suburb of Paris just beyond Pontoise, on 15 June 1883, where he would spend three weeks painting with Camille Pissarro. Gauguin had visited Pissarro regularly since 1879, but the summer of 1883 was the longest and final stretch of time that he would spend with the older artist. Such concentrated time spent together inspired Gauguin to paint the same motifs as Pissarro, who painted the exact scene depicted in the present work, but viewed from a slightly broader angle (fig. 1).
During this trip, Gauguin painted seven canvases including the present work. Four of the works from this series are housed in museum collections, including the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (Wildenstein, nos. 102 and 105), the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (Wildenstein, no. 106; fig. 2) and the Rhode Island School of Design (Wildenstein, no. 101).
