Wooded Lane at Pontoise 1879

"Wooded Lane at Pontoise" is an etching by Camille Pissarro created in 1879. The print depicts a wooded path leading through a dense grove of trees. The use of dark tones and sketchy lines creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of Pissarro's Impressionist style. This etching is an excellent example of Pissarro's skill in capturing the beauty of nature, a theme that dominated his art. The work is currently on view at the Art Institute of Chicago.
