About the piece

Painted in 1874 during the height of Impressionism, Camille Pissarro captures the fleeting effects of light and shadow on a road in Pontoise. The composition features a rider on a white horse and pedestrians strolling under the dappled shade of tall trees, rendered with Pissarro's characteristic short, vibrant brushstrokes and a sophisticated sense of atmosphere.
