About the piece

Painted circa 1880, this oil study by Camille Pissarro showcases the artist's masterful use of broken color and light. The subject, a washerwoman, is rendered with short, rhythmic brushstrokes that lend a sense of life and texture to her striped blouse and the lush green background, characteristic of Pissarro's celebrated Impressionist style.
