Flock of Sheep 1888

Camille Pissarro's "Flock of Sheep" (1888) exemplifies the artist's pointillist technique, where tiny dots of color are applied to the canvas to create a shimmering effect. The scene depicts a shepherd and his flock moving through a rural village, the soft, hazy light and subtle brushstrokes capturing the atmosphere of a tranquil afternoon. This Impressionist work, part of Pissarro's "L'Hermitage" series, showcases the artist's fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life in the French countryside.
