Lucien Pissarro, the son of the French Impressionist painter, Camille, settled in London in 1890, becoming a naturalized Briton in 1916. He moved to The Brook at 27 Stamford Brook Road, Chiswick from Bath Road in Chiswick at the end of March 1902. He lived here until the end of his life when he left London on the outbreak of war for the west country and let The Brook out to tenants. He died before he was able to return to the house.
Pissarro painted four views of Stamford Brook Green: two executed in the winter of 1909, titled Sun and Snow and Snow and Mist; and two in December 1927, the present work and a smaller painting of the same title. He was fascinated by the effect of the snow on the city landscape, as his father, Camille, had been many years earlier in 1870, when he painted Lower Norwood, Effect of Snow (National Gallery, London).
