In the Spring of 1875 Berthe Morisot and her husband Eugène Manet went to stay in Gennevilliers, where the Manet family had owned a property since the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Gennevilliers itself was charming and the adjacent hamlet, Le Petit Gennevilliers, boasted only three houses.
Berthe Morisot's view of the hamlet of Le Petit Gennevilliers in 1875 depicts a rural paradise already corrupted by the presence of encroaching industrialization.
