Renoir probably painted this small, hazy landscape in the vicinity of Les Collettes, where he moved in 1908. A stream runs along the front edge, echoed in the soft blue hills toward the back; swaying trees animate the space between. The painter treated such landscapes as a form of relaxation and an opportunity to experiment. He explained, "Landscape is useful for a figure painter. In the open air, one feels encouraged to put on the canvas tones that one couldn't imagine in the subdued light of the studio."
