The work was most likely executed in the summer of 1874, soon after cézanne had returned home from paris. He had written his parents that he hoped his father would finance a long stay at home in aix: "i shall be very happy to work in the south, where the views offer so many opportunities for my painting. ". Object Type: painting. Genre: landscape painting. Date: circa 1874. Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Private Collection, Courtesy of Wildenstein & Co., New York.
