This picture appears as No.1386 in the catalogue compiled by the artist himself, where it is described as follows: 'An old road at Saint-Paul, at the top a little chapel, on the left a low wall against which a woman is leaning'. It is the seventeenth item in the list of fifty-four paintings made in 1922, and was therefore probably painted in the spring.
St Paul is only a short distance from Cagnes, where Vallotton spent the winter months from 1921 onwards and where he executed a number of similar landscapes.
