About the piece

Painted around 1899, this work captures a secluded corner of the Château Noir estate near Aix-en-Provence. Paul Cézanne uses rhythmic, diagonal brushstrokes to build a sense of architectural volume within the forest, contrasting the organic forms of the trees with the geometric shapes of the abandoned millstones and rocks.
