Peasant Woman with a Goat 1881

Camille Pissarro's "Peasant Woman with a Goat" (1881) is a fine example of the artist's Impressionist style. Pissarro, a founding member of the Impressionist movement, captured the everyday life of rural France through his use of short, visible brushstrokes and a focus on light and color. This artwork depicts a peasant woman, dressed in a blue cloak, feeding a goat in a woodland setting. The use of color and brushstrokes gives the scene a sense of vibrancy and movement, characteristic of Impressionism.
