Victor Alfred Paul Vignon (1847-1909) was born in Villers-Cotterêts. His mother Marie-Noémi Cadiot was a sculptor, writer and a proprietor of a hotel. The hotel was decorated by Puvis de Chavannes in the 1850s and Vignon therefore had an early introduction to art. He went on to study under Camille Corot and Adolphe-Félix Cals.
Vignon painted around Val-d'Oise and in the 1870s associated with Camille Pissarro and his circle in Auver-sur-Oise. The present lot, painted circa 1880, is demonstrative of the artist's preoccupation with the poetic and realistic expression of landscape.
