Pierre-Auguste Renoir recorded the surroundings of his Mediterranean home in a sketch-like work. In addition to accents in white and bright yellow, the priming of the canvas shows through in many areas, contributing to the luminosity of the scene. The quick brushwork lends an unexpectedly dynamic force to the unspectacular motif in this small format.
