‘Most of the smaller landscapes exhibited by the Impressionists in the 1870s* seem to have been largely or entirely executed out of doors, in front of the motifs they represent. Instead of using the studio, as most previous landscapists had, to produce large, highly finished works for exhibition from small preparatory studies, they treated their small outdoor oils as finished works in their own right, placing great importance on the spontaneity and directness of their record of nature. Good examples of this, all of which were shown at the first group exhibition in 1874[ce], are Monet's “Impression: Sunrise” and “Wild Poppies” (Musée de Jeu Paume, Paris), Renoir's “Harvesters” (Stiftung Sammlung E. G. Bührle, Zurich), and Pissarro's “Hoar-frost” (Musée de Jeu Paume, Paris).’
