Cézanne rented a small shack on the edge of Bibémus, a rock quarry to the east of Aix-en-Provence, around 1895. The quarry had been abandoned since the 1830s, providing the artist with a landscape of eroded geometric shapes. The vertical format highlights the hill on the left, leading gradually down into the overgrowth of a ravine and moving upward to the right, where a steep, sheer rock face displays the manmade changes to the landscape.
