Overschie was a small town on the outskirt of Rotterdam where Jongkind fled in 1855, disappointed by the lack of recognition in Paris and subjected to serious financial troubles in France. During his stay in Rotterdam, he was supported by Queen Sophie of Württemberg, which allowed him to continue painting. After the sale in Paris of most of his works and a medal at the Salon de Dijon in 1858, with the help of his friends, he eventually returned to Paris in 1860. This painting was part of the collection of Count Armand Doria until 1899. it is now at the Musée de la Chartreuse in Douai. -Français- Overschie était un petit village des alentours de Rotterdam où Jongkind fuit en 1855 en raison de problèmes financiers et d'un manque de reconnaissance en France.
