PISSARRO, Camille: Woman and Child at a Well

🖼 Woman and Child at a Well, 1882
Oil on canvas
81 × 65 cm
Chicago, USA

Soft light bathes two figures beside a rural well, rendered in delicate brushwork that dissolves form into luminous color. Pissarro captures peasant life with quiet dignity, advancing Impressionism's focus on ordinary moments and natural light effects.
