1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Haymakers of Eragny is a 1896 by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows four people working in a field, bending over hay. The artist used quick, rough lines to draw their hats, clothes, and tools. The background has simple trees and hills, all drawn lightly. The figures look tired but focused, their bodies angled as they work. The style feels fast, like the artist sketched it outside while watching. Next, check out Impressionism to see how this fits into that movement.
Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro ( piss-AR-oh; French: ; 10 July 1830 – 13 November 1903) was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of Saint Thomas (now in the US Virgin Islands, but then in the Danish West Indies).
