Spätnachmittags auf unserer Wiese

Late Afternoon in our Meadow

This view of a meadow bordered by the River Epte was painted from the end of Pissarro's garden in Eragny, where he had relocated in 1884. It shows the artist's 'new style' of the mid-1880s, when he was experimenting with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac's radical Pointillist technique of applying small, precise brushstrokes of pure colour.
