The Tedder 1884

Camille Pissarro's "The Tedder" (1884) portrays a woman and a child working in a field, highlighting the rural life in the French countryside. The woman, dressed in a straw hat and a blue apron, holds a rake and stands in the tall grass, while the child in the background appears to be playing. The work exemplifies Pissarro's Impressionist style, characterized by a vibrant application of color, loose brushstrokes, and an emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. "The Tedder" showcases Pissarro's interest in rural scenes and the lives of ordinary people.
