Sunset at Éragny-sur-Epte, Autumn is a 1902 oil by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a sunset over a field. The sky is light orange and pink, with some darker clouds. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes, and a path or road leads into the distance. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray. The painting has a soft, hazy quality, with the brushstrokes visible but not prominent. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the warm colors of the sunset evoking a sense of peacefulness.
