Market Scene, Town Square
Camille Pissarro
Description
Subject Matter:
This scene represents a market, probably in one of the small Norman towns that Pissarro either lived in or visited frequently during the 1870s-1890s, such as Pontoise and Gisors.
Physical Description:
This drawing shows a street scene with a number of people at a market, many of whom are carrying blue or white umbrellas. A lamp post is in the foreground, and line drawings of buildings comprise the background, and birds fly in the sky amid quickly sketched out white-grey clouds. The color palette is comprised of blues, browns, whites, greens and specks of red.
