“Pissarro and his family sailed to England in December 1870 to escape the turmoil of the Franco-Prussian War. There they rented a small house in Upper Norwood. Referring to an oil painting with the same subject and date as the present gouache, Joachim Pissarro and Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts wrote, “Though Pissarro refers to it as the ‘Westow Hill’ church, this is in fact the all-saints church on Beulah Hill at Norwood.”
