Village au bord d’un étang c. 1869

"Village au bord d’un étang," created around 1869 by Camille Pissarro, is a pastel painting depicting a peaceful village scene. Pissarro, a prominent Impressionist, captures the soft light and natural beauty of the landscape, showcasing the influence of his early interest in the Barbizon School. The delicate strokes of pastel and the muted color palette give the work a sense of tranquility, while the reflections in the pond add a sense of depth and serenity to the composition.
