Born in Bordeaux, a student of Auguin and Lalane, Isabelle SEBILLEAU, née SPRENGER, exhibited her painting from 1867 in Bordeaux, Pau, Rouen, Le Havre and at the Paris Salon from 1880.
Better known for her still lifes and her compositions of flowers, which she often signed Maurice SPRENGER, she also painted landscapes in a palette that evokes that of her husband, the Bordeaux painter Paul SEBILLEAU.
It is in this vein that this painting offers us a very modern framing in the tangle of the crown of a pine, certainly chosen near La Brède, on the edge of the Landes Gironde, where the couple frequently stayed.
