PISSARRO, Camille: Street in Pontoise, Winter

🖼 Street in Pontoise, Winter, 1873
Oil on canvas

Soft snow blankets a quiet village street lined with modest buildings, rendered in muted grays and whites with delicate brushwork. Pissarro captures the humble beauty of rural French life during winter, establishing Impressionism's focus on ordinary scenes and atmospheric effects.
