Henri-Gabriel Ibels usually stayed with his friend Aristide Briand at the home of his other friend Jean Ajalbert who rented a manor house in Trédrez-Locquémeau. Our painting represents the nearby site of Saint-Michel-en-Grèves with the women in Trégor costumes.
This work with its black rings, in the manner of a stained glass window, is close in treatment to a drawing reproduced in the Assiette au beurre of September 1, 1906, n°283.
