Les boulevards extérieurs. Effet de neige is a 1890 oil by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, depicting Street, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting shows a snowy city street lined with bare trees and buildings. People in winter clothes are walking or standing on the street, and horse-drawn carriages are passing by. The colors are mostly shades of blue, green, and brown, with touches of red and yellow. The painting has a lot of texture, with thick brushstrokes that give it a rough, almost three-dimensional feel. The artist has used a range of techniques to capture the play of light on the snow and the buildings.
