This scene, which is unusually anecdotal for a work by Eugène Boudin, describes simple country life at the Saint-Siméon farm in Honfleur, near Le Havre. In 1854 Boudin rented space there and brought together followers of plein-air painting. Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet later joined this early artist colony on the Seine estuary.
