Willem Roelofs was of the same generation as Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch and Paul Gabriël, and like them was a proponent of painting in the open air. He even travelled, as one of the first Dutch painters, to Barbizon, where he made studies in the garden of Père Ganne and on the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau. This landscape, in which influences of both
the Dutch 17th-century masters and the painters of the Barbizon School can be seen, is one of the early works of Willem Roelofs. It was probably painted around 1855.
