During the mid-1890s, Paul Cézanne lived and worked at his father's estate in the rural South of France. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of Paris, he focused on painting the surrounding landscape and the handful of people who were at his disposal—especially gardeners and farmhands. The figure in this painting is probably a man named Père Alexandre. As in all of his paintings of peasants from around the estate, Cézanne gives his figure a pronounced sense of dignity without being sentimental.
