Note: The family of Joseph Jules Bahans traded in Rouennerie in Bordeaux (fabric made mainly in Rouen and Yvetot). It was probably during a commercial trip for the family supply that Bahans painted this painting. This landscape represents a village whose main activity is the extraction of stones from the quarry. The very clear contrast of shadows and light brings a mysterious shadow.
