The Cabbage Gatherers c. 1878 - 1879

"The Cabbage Gatherers" (c. 1878-1879) by Camille Pissarro depicts three women working in a field, their figures partially obscured by a large pile of cabbages. The muted colors and delicate brushstrokes, characteristic of Pissarro's Impressionist style, capture the soft light of a hazy day. The composition, with its emphasis on the sweeping landscape, evokes a sense of the vastness of nature and the quiet rhythm of rural life.
