Painted from a window of Geoffrey Gorer’s cottage The Croft, Bradford-on-Tone. This is one of the two paintings using the flower-covered ottoman in the foreground, a device used to heighten what Frances Hodgkins described as the "Persian garden" feel the Croft had. The other version is Landscape with Still Life (Collection of Art Gallery of South Australia. Reproduced 1969 Centenary Cat. No. 54)

According to Nancy Moore, a young neighbour at the Croft, "The ottoman in the foreground stood near a window which looked out onto the landscape beyond but there were no trees there, Frances Hodgkins has invented them." In a letter to Karl Hagedorn Frances Hodgkins wrote:

This is Geoffrey Gorer's cottage and 1 have the use of it ... It is a flat rather uninteresting country - green fields, occasional farms - within sight of the Quantoks, 64 miles from Taunton, but a lovely peaceful garden makes up for all the deficiencies."
