Did you know?
Pissarro frequently painted the area around Louveciennes, often from his own windows, demonstrating his deep commitment to capturing the nuances of the French countryside. This painting dates to a critical year for the artist, as the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War shortly after would force him to flee to London, leading to the destruction of many of his earlier works left behind in his studio.
