About the piece

Painted in 1874, this masterful work by Camille Pissarro captures the home of his close friend Ludovic Piette in Montfoucault. A quintessential example of early Impressionism, the composition uses a sophisticated palette of icy blues, soft grays, and muted whites to evoke the heavy, hushed atmosphere of a mid-winter day and the soft texture of fresh snowfall.
