EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel on paper artwork by the renowned French artist Camille Pissarro. This exquisite piece, drawn in 1890, measures 40x29.2 cm and belongs to a private collection. In this impressionistic masterpiece, Pissarro transports us to a serene countryside setting of late nineteenth-century France. The scene depicts two female farmworkers diligently engaged in their agricultural occupation of picking crops. With their aprons tied around their waists and hands confidently placed on their hips, these women exude strength and determination. The artist's skilled use of pastels brings life to the lush surroundings as we see them leaning forward beneath the shade of a majestic tree. The soft colors and delicate strokes create an atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of rural life during this time period. Pissarro's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the women's posture and attire. Their full-length dresses reflect the fashion trends of the era while also emphasizing their role as hardworking individuals contributing to society. "The Pickers; La Cueillette" not only showcases Pissarro's mastery as an impressionist artist but also serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication displayed by those working in agriculture during this period. It stands as an enduring reminder of our connection with nature and our dependence on those who labor tirelessly for its bounty.
