In 1884, Pissarro left Osny to settle in a large house surrounded by a big garden in Eragny-sur-Epte, near Gisors. With its fields and hills, its picturesque steeple, its broad street, its little river, and its rolling countryside, this small rural village of the région parisienne, provided Pissarro with endless romantic subjects for his paintings.

His later works mark a return to his earlier Impressionist idioms. Having experimented with rigorous technique and colour theories of the Pointillists, he returned to the more softened stroke and receding perspectives of his earlier period. His work became more subtle, his colour scheme more refined and his drawing firmer.
