Martin Dieterle dates this painting between 1829-1830, and considers it to be one of Corot's earliest views of Ville d'Avray. Corot never tired of painting this tiny hamlet. His father had purchased a country home there in 1817, and Corot was to record the trees, ponds and rivers around Ville d'Avray up until the last months of his life.

This painting has been examined and authenticated by Martin Dieterle.
