Outskirts of Louveciennes 1871

"Outskirts of Louveciennes" (1871), painted by the Impressionist Camille Pissarro, captures a quiet moment in a rural French landscape. The painting's subject is a typical village street with simple houses and a group of figures walking in the distance. Pissarro's use of short brushstrokes and broken color creates a sense of vibrancy, particularly in the depiction of the trees and the sky. This piece showcases Pissarro's exploration of natural light and color, which became a key characteristic of Impressionism.
