Wilson first visited the Brittany town of Tréboul on a sketching trip with the artist Edgar Holloway. The pair had selected the destination on account of its being popular with the artist Christopher Wood, whose work they admired. Wilson enjoyed pointing to similarities between the coastlines of Fife and Brittany in his work.
