In 1874 Bracquemond participated in the first exhibition of impressionist painters in the workshops of Nadar, Boulevard des Capucines, of artists that would be called the Impressionists. With these 33 works he exhibited far out the most art-works and in that sense Félix Bracquemond was the most important artist of the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition.

This made him a sort of famous guest star within this first independent exposition where many quite unknown artists were fighting for recognition. This painting exhibits a very bold and vibrant color palette, and is in excellent condition.
