Painted circa 1906, the painting shows the artist's garden in Nemours. It is part of a series where the artist paints the same subjects at different hours of the day on canvas of the same size. Inspired by the impressionist work, he studies the light of day. (http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2016/collection-boutet-de-monvel-pf1639/lot.266.html)
