Seated Peasant and Knitting Peasant 1893

Camille Pissarro's "Seated Peasant and Knitting Peasant" (1893) depicts two seated figures, likely women, in a casual pose. The artist's signature "C. Pissarro" is in the lower left corner of the composition. The brushwork is loose and expressive, creating a sense of movement and capturing the essence of the figures. The use of pastel creates a soft, delicate atmosphere, highlighting the warmth and intimacy of the scene. Pissarro, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, was known for his interest in rural life and his depictions of everyday people. This work embodies his focus on capturing the beauty of simple moments.
