About the piece

Painted in 1874, this work by Camille Pissarro exemplifies the Impressionist fascination with light and the French countryside. The scene depicts Valhermeil, a hamlet near Auvers-sur-Oise, where a cowherd and a horse-drawn cart move through a landscape defined by rolling hills and lush, textured brushwork.
