When this small painting on wood was bequeathed to the National Gallery it had the title Vespers, although it had previously been titled Young Girl with Flowers. The composition is very similar to a picture titled Sunday Afternoon, which Jacob Maris had painted a few years earlier in 1863. That painting’s current location is unknown, but a lithograph of it shows a slightly older girl, who is knitting as she sits outside an ivy-covered house with a church in the distance. In this picture, painted in 1867, Maris has replaced the knitting with a straw hat, which the girl is decorating with flowers. She is also wearing jewellery. The church itself is in Montigny-sur-Loing, a small town on the southern edge of the forest at Fontainebleau, some 50 miles south of Paris.
