146:. But the painting maintains a utopian subtitle without being overtly anarchist: "The golden age is not in the past; it is in the future." The piece was originally meant to be the final piece of a larger series with other panels representing boat haulers, wreckers, and builders showing that France was far from a time of harmony but it was achievable if the country put in the work and made a change. This utopia would include all of the elements in the painting, creating a world where family, work, and play existed harmoniously.
261:. He instead produced intricate studies and took years to create this painting. The first study was a loose sketch made with blue and black ink wash over graphite in 1893. He annotated this study writing "pine groves, round, machines, women hanging out washing, sower, lovers, iris, mimosa, women picking flowers, flowers". Then Signac painted an oil-on-canvas study in color in 1893. After completing these two sketches, he made studies of individual elements and figures, including:

Signac wrote, "the hope of that near future in which at last, for the first time, every individuality will be free... what practical and habitable monuments you are erecting! How freely one can breathe in them". From this vision of a freer society, Signac began to create

The multiple titles of the piece also played a role in its ambiguous meaning, variously presenting the work as a scene of outdoor "harmony" or as an expression of protest and political resistance. The title of the work was originally

anarchist pictures, but the one who, without thought of fain, without desire for regard, battles with all official conventions by making a personal contribution."

Finally, Signac completed two full studies before making his final painting: one in black ink and graphite and the other in color lithograph both from 1895-96.
