About the piece
Painted in 1873, this work by Camille Pissarro captures the changing landscape of Pontoise, where rural tranquility and emerging industry coexist. The composition is dominated by a masterful sky of scudding clouds, reflected in the calm waters of the Oise alongside the factory stacks that characterized the era.
