<p>The artist wrote (<i>Men and Memories</i>, 11, p.228) that in the summer of 1910 he ‘returned to Vattetot to paint cliffs and barns’. The picture probably dates from about this period. On an earlier visit he recorded (<i>ibid.</i>, I, p.347) that ‘the village of Vattetot was uninteresting enough; but all about were farms, each with its <i>basse-cour</i> and orchard enclosed by double or triple rows of trees, to keep out the cold winds’.</p>
