GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Trees, broad-leaved plants, and a pale stone wall define the landscape that Edouard Vuillard captures in this tiny painting. Although Vuillard primarily depicted the urban setting of Paris, he could have painted this landscape on one of his vacations to the country with his intimate circle of wealthy friends and patrons. The painting's first owner was Jos Hessel, an important member of this group and also Vuillard's dealer. Hessel and his wife, Lucy, were Vuillard's closes friends from the turn of the 20th century until his death in 1940.
