About the piece

Painted in 1872, this exquisite work by Camille Pissarro depicts the heights of l'Hautil in Pontoise. The composition features a woman and child observing the varied textures of the rural landscape, from the freshly turned earth in the foreground to the blossoming fruit trees and the distant, soft-hued valley, all rendered with Pissarro's characteristic delicate brushwork and luminous sense of light.
