In the summer of 1904, Ivar Arosenius and Axel Törneman left Paris for a little fishing village, Coudeville, in Normandy. They checked into the simple inn Soleil levant. Gudrun Höyer-Ellefsen joined them there two weeks later.
They stayed until sometime in August, and Arosenius made a number of works documenting their time there and depicting the innkeeper, Madame Hecquard.
Here she is herding the poor animals with a whip; she is said to have been quite mean, only caring for her donkey, perhaps the very same donkey appears in A Princess.
