EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white drawing by Camille Pissarro showcases a study of female peasants harvesting apples. Created between 1845-1903, the artwork measures 15.7 x 20.3 cm and is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The composition depicts a scene from rural life, with women diligently picking apples from trees in the countryside. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of agricultural work through his precise lines and shading techniques. Pissarro's drawing not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers insight into the importance of agriculture during this period. It highlights how farmers played a crucial role in providing food for their communities. The image portrays a sense of harmony between nature and labor, emphasizing the connection between humans and their environment. The presence of scales and balance weights hints at the meticulousness required in farming practices. As we observe these hardworking women amidst lush apple trees, we are reminded of France's rich agricultural heritage. This piece invites us to appreciate both artistry and history while reflecting on our own relationship with food supply. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork that encapsulates Pissarro's talent as well as his dedication to capturing everyday life through his brushstrokes or pencil marks.
