About the piece
Painted in 1872, this work by Camille Pissarro captures the tranquil atmosphere of Pontoise. The composition uses tall, vertical trees to frame the gentle flow of the Oise river and the distant rooftops of the town, all rendered in the characteristic dappled light and flickering brushstrokes of early Impressionism.
