Le Marché aux oeufs c. 1884

"Le Marché aux oeufs" (c. 1884) by Camille Pissarro is a vibrant depiction of a bustling marketplace. The Impressionist artist captured the energy of the scene through loose brushstrokes and a focus on light and color. The figures, likely Parisian marketgoers, are rendered with a sense of movement and immediacy. Pissarro's signature pointillist style, evident in the small dabs of color, adds to the work's dynamic quality, creating a sense of depth and texture. The inclusion of market goods, like chickens, eggs, and baskets, further emphasizes the lively atmosphere of the scene.
