About the piece

Painted around 1888, this work depicts the chestnut tree alley at Jas de Bouffan, Cézanne’s family estate near Aix-en-Provence. The painting showcases his signature structured brushwork, using short, parallel strokes to build form and light. The play of dappled sunlight across the path creates a sense of depth and architectural stability within the natural setting.
