About this work

A meadow spreads across the foreground, where several fruit trees with slender trunks stretch out their branches. Beyond the trees, the red roof and chimney of a farmhouse peek out, and gray clouds pile up in the sky. The grass is painted with small dot-like strokes, the leaves with fine touches, and the sky with broad, easy strokes. It is oil on canvas, measuring 65.0 x 81.0 cm.

According to the museum's commentary, the dealer Durand-Ruel acquired this painting from the artist on November 22, 1900, and it was shown in Pissarro's solo exhibition at a Paris gallery the following January, in 1901. In 1913 it was also included in a show at the Durand-Ruel Gallery in New York.

Pissarro took on a series of landscapes of the Eragny orchard, showing how the scenery changes with the seasons. The viewing direction differs from the spring scene in the same series, and here the farmhouse roof appears in the middle of the picture. The brushwork is unchanged, and the commentary explains that the difference between the seasons shows up mainly in the color.
