Camille Pissarro's 1879 etching, "Chemin sous bois à Pontoise," depicts a winding path through a dense forest. The artist, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, captures the play of light and shadow in the woodland scene. The delicate lines of the etching create a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the natural beauty of the French countryside. This work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Pissarro's fascination with the interplay of light and nature, a hallmark of Impressionist art.
