This composition by Alexandre Calame may be compared to another work by the artist, Houses in Savoy, dated between 1832 and 1836, which is reproduced in the catalogue raisonné by Valentina Anker (Alexandre Calame, Vie et Œuvre, Fribourg 1987, p. 323, cat. no. 5).
The old label on the back of the painting indicates that the work was identified in the estate inventory of his son, Arthur Calame, in Geneva on 15 April 1922 – a provenance that adds to the work’s historical value.
