Artwork Information

The sense of immediacy in some Impressionists' work was deliberate and planned, and often rapidly made sketches were taken back to the studio to be worked on at some length. This is the only etching by Cezanne that related directly to one of his own paintings, a view of an entrance into a farm on the rue Saint-Remy, which he eventually gave to Pissarro. While theoretically devoted to nature, the Impressionists had no one definitive way in which they depicted it. (Impressions of a Time and Place, 2002)
