A gifted artist and jack-of-all-trades, Jules Geneste of Libourne was equally a skilled draftsman, painter, photographer, poet, and pianist. But it was only at the 13th exhibition of the Friends of the Arts of Bordeaux in 1864 that he seriously took up painting, exhibiting no fewer than eight works that made him famous.
Jules Geneste painted both Normandy and the Gironde. Here, he depicted a small corner of the countryside with great charm and a magnificent rendering of the material. This is probably the painting exhibited in 1864 at the Salon des Amis des Arts in Bordeaux, "A Well; Study" under number 231, along with several seascapes in Normandy and "The Cabin of Father Bonhomme, an Old Fisherman near Dieppe" under number 231.
"These paintings were noticed, especially number 230, and Mr. Henry Devier, the witty and sharp critic from the Gironde, complimented Mr. Geneste on this occasion, and devoted glowing quotations to him in his review of the Salon Bordelais for the recent exhibition." (Essay on Painting and Drawing in Angoulême (where Jules Geneste was a student of the photographer Godard around 1860), 1866)
