Haymaker 1880

"Haymaker" is a charcoal drawing by Camille Pissarro, created in 1880. It depicts a woman in a field, working diligently with a rake. The subject matter is typical of Pissarro's Impressionist style, focusing on everyday life and the rhythms of labor. The artist's distinctive use of loose, gestural lines creates a sense of movement and atmosphere, emphasizing the woman's hard work and the changing light of the day. The drawing is a powerful reminder of the value of rural life and the dignity of labor, and is a testament to Pissarro's skill in capturing the essence of a fleeting moment in time.
