About the piece

Painted around 1869, this work depicts the entrance to Cézanne's family estate, Jas de Bouffan, near Aix-en-Provence. The artist employs thick, confident brushstrokes and a deep palette of forest and emerald greens to capture the heavy canopy and the cooling respite of shadows under the Provencal sun.
