From Museum Boijmans van Beuningen:
In 1884 Gauguin gave up his well paid job in Paris to become a full time artist. He settled in Normandy where, on the advice of his art dealer, he began to paint Impressionist landscapes. The shipping magnate D.G. van Beuningen acquired this painting, with cows at a watering place, in 1933.
