Peasant Trimming the Lawn 1882

"Peasant Trimming the Lawn" is a 1882 oil painting by Camille Pissarro, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. Depicting a woman kneeling on a path, seemingly trimming a lawn, the painting embodies the Impressionist style through its loose brushstrokes and focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light. Pissarro's use of color and composition emphasizes the natural setting, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow on the woman's figure and the surrounding landscape. The artwork's subject matter and composition further reflect Pissarro's interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people in their everyday settings.
