Stanhope Forbes started his studies at Dulwich College of Art andThe Royal Academy Schools and then travelled to Paris in 1880 where he
studied under Bonnat at his atelier in Clichy. In 1881 Forbes visited Brittany and painted A Street in Brittany, which met with considerable
success when exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1882. Greatly encouraged Forbes returned to Brittany staying at Quimperlé. Although he
visited Pont-Aven and met many fellow artists there he preferred the quieter, less crowded location of Quimperlé where this work is possibly
painted. In 1884 he exhibited two further market scenes of Quimperlé which he had painted in 1883 one of which,
