Woman Mending 1895

Camille Pissarro's "Woman Mending" (1895) is a poignant portrayal of a woman engaged in a domestic task. The painting captures a moment of quiet contemplation as the woman meticulously mends a garment. Pissarro, a pioneer of Impressionism, employs his signature pointillist technique to create a shimmering, textural surface. The striped tablecloth, a recurring motif in his work, contributes to the overall sense of rhythm and harmony. The painting offers a glimpse into everyday life in the late 19th century and highlights Pissarro's interest in portraying ordinary people and their activities.
