Study for the apple picker 

This is a study by Camille Pissarro for a larger work titled "The Apple Picker," likely created during the artist's Impressionist period, which saw him emphasize the depiction of light and color. This drawing showcases Pissarro's skill with a loose and expressive line, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The figure, a woman in a brown blouse and blue skirt, stands in profile against a pale background, holding a long, slender object. Pissarro's characteristic use of pastel creates a delicate, almost hazy effect, adding a sense of atmosphere to the composition.
