Although born into a pioneering Victorian Western District family, Eleanor spent her early childhood in Europe and by 1876 had decided on a career as an artist.
While sketching in the countryside near Paris, she met the American plein-airist (Lowell) Birge Harrison. They were married not long afterwards. The couple travelled, pursuing their artistic desires. In 1887 the Harrisons settled for eighteen months in Etaples, presumably where this painting was created.
