About the piece
Painted in 1875, Camille Pissarro's 'The Quarry, Pontoise' exemplifies the Impressionist fascination with natural light. The composition features a solitary figure on a winding path, set against the pale, excavated rock of a quarry and a dense screen of sun-dappled foliage. Pissarro's characteristic short, rhythmic brushstrokes bring a vibrant energy to this serene rural scene.
