Robert William Vonnoh (1858-1933)

During the 1880s and 1890s, Robert Vonnoh made many trips to France where he rented a home with a courtyard in the artists' colony of Grez-sur-Loing, which is depicted in the present work. This work was in the collection of a descendant and neighbor of Vonnoh's landlord, Marie Simard, before being acquired by the present owner.
