Pontoise, the Road to Gisors in Winter 1873

Camille Pissarro's "Pontoise, the Road to Gisors in Winter" (1873) captures a peaceful winter scene in the French town of Pontoise. The Impressionist artist depicts a snowy street lined with buildings and a few figures going about their day. The visible brushstrokes and use of light and shadow are characteristic of the Impressionist movement, capturing the fleeting moment of a winter day. The work showcases Pissarro's interest in urban landscapes and his skill in depicting the effects of light and weather.
