Woman Haymaker at Éragny 1897

Camille Pissarro's "Woman Haymaker at Éragny" is an etching and aquatint from 1897 depicting a group of women working in a field of hay. The composition highlights the woman in the foreground, her bent figure and the length of her rake emphasizing the physical labor involved in haymaking. This etching is characteristic of Pissarro's later works, a period when he focused on the depiction of everyday life and rural scenes, often using techniques of Impressionism and a simplified style. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this work, a testament to Pissarro's enduring influence on the art world.
