The painting depicts the farm in Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean coast of Southern France to which Renoir was forced to relocate in 1908 to help alleviate the effects of his rheumatoid arthritis. Although the original farmhouse is depicted in the painting, Renoir actually lived in a newly built house elsewhere on the estate.
