<p>This shows a view of L'Etang-la-Ville, about eighteen miles west of Paris. In all probability the view is from the balcony of the painter K-X Roussel's villa with the shadow of the house in the foreground. Roussel married Vuillard's sister and settled in L'Etang-la-Ville the year before this was painted. Vuillard also painted two further oils from the same spot, depicting slightly different details of the landscape in front of the house.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>

<p><span>A view at l'Etang-la-Ville, about eighteen miles west of Paris, in all probability from the balcony of the painter K.-X. Roussel's villa 'La Coulette'. (The shadow of the house appears in the foreground). Roussel, who had married Vuillard's sister, settled at l'Etang-la-Ville in 1899 and Vuillard frequently went to visit them there. Another view from the same balcony, showing more of the scene to left and right, is in the collection of Mrs Rosemary Peto, London. A picture of the other half of the house on the left is in the Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou, Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris as '<a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/l/landscape" title="Glossary definition for 'Landscape'"><span>Landscape</span></a> at l'Etang-la-Ville'. </span>
<br/></p>
<p><span>Though this picture has usually been known in recent years as 'The Red Roof, it appears in the Bernheim-Jeune records as 'Landscape - House on the Left'. </span>
