Father Melon Lighting his Pipe 

"Father Melon Lighting His Pipe" is a pastel work created by Camille Pissarro, a prominent Impressionist painter. The painting depicts a rural figure, likely a farmer, standing in a field, striking a match to light his pipe. The pastoral setting, along with the man's humble attire, evokes a sense of everyday life in the countryside. Pissarro's signature use of color and light, particularly in the depiction of the foliage and sky, adds depth and realism to the scene. The artwork captures a moment of quiet contemplation, highlighting the simple pleasures of rural life.
