The Jas de Bouffan was a rural estate just outside Aix-en-Provence owned by Paul Cézanne’s father. The artist painted many views of the house, grounds and farmworkers from 1866 until 1899, when the estate was sold.
This painting was executed with short, parallel brushstrokes, a technique Cézanne favoured in the 1880s. It creates a shimmering effect particularly well suited to this scene. The leaves of the tall trees seem to rustle in the breeze.
