PISSARRO, Camille: The Woodcutter

🖼 The Woodcutter, 1879
Oil on canvas
89 × 116 cm

Soft brushwork captures a solitary figure felling trees amid dappled forest light, rendered in muted greens and browns. Pissarro's humble rural subject exemplifies Impressionist interest in peasant labor and natural observation, elevating everyday work to fine art.
