Corsica, the Old Mill is the earliest artwork depicted in The Red Studio. Henri and Amélie Matisse spent the first six months of their married life in Ajaccio, Corsica, where Matisse encountered the Mediterranean sun and sea for the first time.

In a letter to a friend, he described the sea as "blue, blue, so blue you could eat it." The experience transformed his painting and palette, with realistic description giving way to compositions built primarily on color. This former olive farm was one of Matisse's favorite sites; here, his representation of light dissolves details such as the trunks of the olive trees and the door at the top of the stairway. The inclusion of Corsica, the Old Mill in The Red Studio suggests that Matisse attached importance to his stay on the island and its impact on his artistic development. Only the basic composition is retained, but with this schematic rendering, Matisse updated the image to reflect his current mode of expression in 1911.
