Straße in Pontoise 1868

Camille Pissarro's "Street in Pontoise" (1868) depicts a quiet street in the French town of Pontoise, an area that the artist frequently painted. The scene shows a glimpse into everyday life, with figures strolling along the street and a horse-drawn carriage moving through the distance. The impressionistic style is evident in the loosely applied brushstrokes and the focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The muted palette and the depiction of clouds add a sense of tranquility to the scene.
