Specialist note

Dr Joachim Pissarro will include this work in his forthcoming Pissarro Catalogue Raisonné of Works on Paper.

According to Joachim Pissarro, the artist misdated this work '1884', probably having executed it in August 1882 when Pissarro and his wife, Julie, did a short trip to Châtillon-sur-Seine, Julie's homeland.
