This gouache is the preparatory study for the contemporary oil Les Meules (W48, Private Collection), executed in 1879. The farm might be the same as is depicted in Les oies devant la ferme (W47), painted when Gauguin was working sur le motif on the left bank of the Oise, near the village of Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône.
With its light strokes and its sunny atmosphere, Paysage de campagne epitomises Gauguin's early experiments with classic Impressionism, clearly influenced by Pissarro, at whose side Gauguin was painting in Pointoise.
