| Description |  |
One of Pissarro's largest and most ambitious canvases, this work came at an important turning point in the artist's career. After spending several months in 1869 painting outdoors alongside Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley, he adopted their innovative practice of breaking up surfaces with loose brushwork to suggest the shifting effects of light and air. In this unpretentious suburban scene, Pissarro evoked autumn through a palette of cool grays, muted greens, and mellow browns.
