A Young Maid 1896

"A Young Maid" is an oil on canvas painting by Camille Pissarro, a French Impressionist painter, created in 1896. The painting features a young woman in a simple dress and cap, standing in a hallway, holding a bowl. Pissarro's signature pointillist technique is evident in the application of small dabs of paint, contributing to the luminous quality of the work. This painting captures the essence of everyday life in the late 19th century and exemplifies Pissarro's interest in portraying the working class. The piece is currently housed at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, UK.
