After 1900, Renoir and his family spent each winter and spring on the Mediterranean, staying at Le Cannet in 1902-1903907 they purchased Les Cfollettes, an old farm situated in an olive grove. John House described the importance of the Cagnes landscape in Renoirs work at this time: “The estate provided him with hisprinciple subjects for landscape: he focused sometimes on the panoramic view of it from the coast & the old town of Cagnes, sometimes on its ancient, twisting olive trees, and often on the old farmhouse on the estate.” (John House, Renoir, London,1985, p.27)
