About the piece

Painted in 1874, this masterful work by Camille Pissarro depicts the pond at Montfoucault during winter. The composition is anchored by a prominent, leaning tree in the foreground, with the short, rhythmic brushstrokes characteristic of mid-period Impressionism building a textured surface of muted greens, greys, and pale blues.
