"Woman at a Well" is an etching by Camille Pissarro, a prominent figure in Impressionism. Created in 1891, the artwork depicts a woman drawing water from a well, capturing a simple yet essential act of daily life. Pissarro's use of strong, thick lines contributes to a sense of immediacy and movement, characteristic of his later work. This piece is a valuable example of Pissarro's exploration of everyday scenes and his transition towards a more simplified, expressive style. It's currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
