In about 1879 Harpignies retired to his property of La Trémellerie at Saint-Privé on the banks of the river Loing (in the département of the Yonne), south-east of Paris. The formal garden there became a favourite subject for the artist. [National Gallery, UK]

Harpignies was a painter in the Barbizon school. He was a particularly close friend of Corot; the two traveled to Italy together. These two canvases date to 1853.
