Haymaker 1885 - 1887

"Haymaker" is a drawing created by Camille Pissarro in 1885-1887 and is currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing depicts a woman, likely a peasant, in a field, seemingly engaged in the act of gathering hay with a rake. Pissarro's focus on everyday life and working-class subjects is evident in this piece. The composition's simplicity and loose brushstrokes, characteristic of Pissarro's later style, contribute to the artwork's impressionistic quality. This drawing is a great example of Pissarro's style of art, and illustrates his use of Impressionism in his work.
