The painter gives pride of place to the gardening bells in the foreground. Lined up along the vegetable garden, these glass protections give rhythm to the composition and naturally lead the eye towards the silhouette of the gardener, standing on the path with his watering can. Evoking traditional horticultural practices at the end of the nineteenth century, these same glass bells can be found in Gustave Caillebotte's painting of gardeners in his Yerres garden, painted around 1875-1877 (coll. part).
