Between 1895 and 1898 Thaulow spent considerable time in the town of Dieppe in Normandy where he painted the small villages, bridges and rivers of this region. The present painting depicts Thaulow's neighborhood in Dieppe.
Thaulow began his career at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen where he studied to be a marine painter. During the 1870s he frequently visited Paris and became exposed to the plein air painters and the French Realists such as Bastien-Lepage. As a result his technique became more painterly and he began to favor landscape subjects and scenes of everyday life in paintings. As the brother-in-law of Paul Gauguin he was also introduced to many of the Impressionists. Throughout his life he exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon and its equivalent in Oslo, The Autumn Exhibitions, as well as in other exhibitions abroad. In 1892 he founded the Salon du Champ de Mars along with Auguste Rodin, Puvis de Chavannes and Jacques Emile Blanche as an alternative venue to the more conservative Salon. His paintings were handled by the leading Paris dealer Georges Petit who sold them to collectors throughout Europe and America. He was a close friend of Claude Monet and in 1895, the same year Le Moulin eau was painted, Monet visited him in Norway to paint winter landscapes. Thaulow exhibited alongside Monet and Alfred Sisley in the 1899 exhibition at Galerie Georges Petit.
