Harpignies found inspiration from his annual trips to Hérisson, in the region of Bourbonnais in central France. He travelled there each summer until 1879, when he retired to his property of La Trémellerie at Saint-Privé. Writing in The Burlington Magazine in 1967 (op.cit.), K. Roberts wrote "…of interest [is] the Harpignies of 1871, vivid, fresh, and probably the best single item in the show." (K. Roberts, The Burlington Magazine CIX, December 1967, p. 723, no. 88).
