About the piece
Painted in 1872 during Camille Pissarro’s residency in Pontoise, this work is a quintessential example of early Impressionism. The composition masterfully balances the horizontal lines of the lock and canal with the verticality of the towering poplars, all rendered with the light, rhythmic brushstrokes that defined the movement's revolutionary approach to landscape.
