Girl with a Stick 1881

"Girl with a Stick" is an 1881 oil painting by Camille Pissarro, a prominent figure of the Impressionist movement. The painting, currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay, depicts a young girl in a rural setting, her figure rendered with loose brushstrokes and a vibrant palette characteristic of Pissarro's style. The dappled light and textured foliage capture the Impressionist fascination with the fleeting effects of nature, creating a sense of immediacy and atmosphere. Pissarro's work often explored themes of everyday life and rural landscapes, as seen in this piece.
