Conder spent the spring and summer of 1891 in Normandy. He had exhibited paintings of blossoms at Père Thomas's Gallery, Paris, in March 1891, but these may have included some painted in Australia, where he first began to paint trees in blossom. Conder met Arthur Studd, the painter, in Paris, where he settled in August 1890. (See also N04221.)
