The Clos Cézanne is a property owned by the Hessel couple purchased in 1920 thanks to the sale of a painting by Paul Cézanne.


Édouard Vuillard was regularly invited to this place, a bucolic refuge where he met his mistress Lucie. Here he represents her in hat and fur, like a flower emerging from a green setting.
