The Road from Versailles to Louveciennes c. 1872

"The Road from Versailles to Louveciennes" is a watercolor by Camille Pissarro, dated c. 1872. The painting depicts a country road leading through a village, with trees and houses on either side. Pissarro's loose, brushy strokes and soft colors are characteristic of his Impressionist style, which sought to capture fleeting moments of light and atmosphere. The scene is bathed in the warm light of a late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the road and creating a sense of peaceful tranquility. This work reflects Pissarro's fascination with the French countryside and his interest in capturing the beauty of everyday life.
