"Kitchen Gardens, Pontoise" (1881) by Camille Pissarro, is an Impressionist depiction of a garden outside of the town of Pontoise, France. The work is a characteristic example of Pissarro's rural landscapes, utilizing short, broken brushstrokes to capture the play of light across the foliage and houses. The artist was deeply interested in capturing the changing seasons and the effects of light and weather.
