Description
Technical

During the 1937 winter, Paul Vallotton invited the Marquet to come and join him in Switzerland, in Lausanne. They stayed there a few months and in front of the success of the works painted on the Léman's shores, they decided to come back in 1937. The occasion was all the more
favourable that an exhibition was then dedicated to the painter at the Galerie de l'Athénée in Geneva, where they stayed briefly.

It was during this second trip that "Brumes sur le lac Léman" was painted. The Marquet couple was then staying in Montreux for a few weeks, from January to March.
