This charming oil sketch by Renoir is dated back to the year 1902. The so-called "cachet de la signature" has been applied to numerous works by Renoir, which were sold out from his estate. Renoir abandoned his own admission in works that remained in his studio or house. Ambroise Vollard wrote in his memoirs of his personal acquaintance to Renoir and his visits in the house of Madame Renoir Essoyes / Champagne. This painting could be a view of the village Noë-les-Mallets, North of Essoyes show where Renoir often visited in the summer months.
