"seurat often travelled to the area around le raincy, an eastern suburb of paris located some eight miles from the centre of the metropolis, where he visited his father and other relatives. during his stays in this region the artist executed drawings of people at work, as well as quiet, unpopulated landscapes such as ‘blé et arbres’ and ‘le mur du chemin’."
