The complex composition, Vallotton's first major work, prepared in an oil study, processes numerous historical reminiscences by Cranach, Botticelli and Renoir, among others, in the ironic manner of the Nabis. At the Salon des Indépendants in 1893, the painting achieved the provoked 'succès de scandal' under the title 'L'Eté - femmes se baignant dans piscine de briques, en plein air'.
