Catalogue Note
Dans un courrier daté du 16 février 2012, Jean-Jacques Fernier indique que le tableau a pu être exécuté soit en été 1859 alors que Courbet séjourne à Honfleur, à la ferme Saint Siméon, soit, plus probablement à la fin de l'été 1865 lors de son séjour à Trouville: durant ce séjour, il réalisa 35 toiles.
