In 1884, Pissarro moved to Eragny-sur-Epte, a small village near Gisors, off the Paris-Dieppe road. With some financial help from Claude Monet, Pissarro was able to buy a house and convert a substantial barn in the garden into his studio. 'The house is superb,' wrote Pissarro to his son Lucien in March of that year, 'with garden and meadows. It's two hours from Paris; I've found the countryside more beautiful than Compiègne.' The studio overlooked an orchard and beyond that the meadows leading to the neighbouring village of Bazincourt. From the large bay-window looking westward, Pissarro could see across the watermeadows of the Epte valley to the church steeple of Bazincourt some kilometre distant indicating that the artist painted the present composition directly from his atelier.
