I saw this painting in Paris.
I really love Pissarro’s rural landscapes - serene, evoking the simple pleasures of life.
Camille Pissarro was a socialist, so he often depicted the workers with a heroic and dignified bearing.

The daubing with a vibrant palette to capture the shimmering sunlight, and the dappled patterns of light and shadow on the grass.

Thank goodness Pissarro depicted the workers with a heroic and dignified bearing. They worked long hours for low pay, and had to feed and clothe their children. Pissarro gave them the credit they deserved.
