The setting is Lormes, the principal town in the area of the Morvan, western Burgundy, where many of its inhabitants earned their living by tree felling. The mill quarter of the town is depicted, and the tall building glimpsed on the left is one of two imposing houses which still stand today. Corot frequently visited this region, and during three stays in 1841, 1842 and 1844 he painted around 15 pictures, many distinguished by the originality of their composition.
