About the piece

Painted in 1873, this work captures Camille Pissarro's fascination with the changing landscape of Pontoise. The composition balances the natural flow of the river with the verticality of industrial chimneys, all rendered with the soft, dappled brushwork characteristic of early Impressionism.
