La clairière c. 1875

"La clairière" (c. 1875) is a pastel drawing by Camille Pissarro, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. The artwork depicts a tranquil outdoor scene, likely a clearing in a park or forest. The hazy atmosphere, rendered through soft pastel strokes, evokes a sense of Impressionism. The composition highlights the natural elements, with lush greenery and a distant view of a cityscape, possibly Paris, in the background. Three figures, seemingly children, are positioned in the foreground, adding a touch of human presence to the idyllic landscape. This pastoral scene reflects Pissarro's penchant for capturing the beauty of everyday life and the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
