1884
Settles at Éragny-sur-Epte
In April 1884 Pissarro and his family settled at Éragny-sur-Epte, a village near Gisors, where he lived for the rest of his life; he wrote to his son Lucien that the house was superb, with a garden and meadows. The house, garden, orchard, meadows and farm workers became recurring subjects for the last nineteen years of his career.
1893
A studio in the converted barn
In 1893 Pissarro altered the barn bordering the garden to create a large studio on its upper floor: the north wall was fitted with an arched glazed opening about three metres wide and another opening faced west over the orchard towards Bazincourt; he described the progress of the work in detail to Lucien.
