Peasants’ houses, Eragny 1887

Camille Pissarro’s 1887 painting, "Peasants’ Houses, Eragny," is an example of his signature Pointillist style, characterized by small, distinct brushstrokes of color that create a visual texture. The artwork portrays a rural landscape, depicting simple peasant houses nestled within a lush, green garden. The use of bright, vibrant colors, particularly in the foliage and sky, evokes a sense of warmth and tranquility. The scene is a glimpse into everyday life in the countryside, with the figure of a peasant woman adding a sense of human presence to the composition. This painting showcases Pissarro's keen observation of nature and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday scenes through his unique artistic approach.
