The Village of Éragny is a 1893 oil by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a village in the background. The scene is dominated by shades of green, with trees and grass covering most of the canvas. In the distance, we see the rooftops of houses and a church steeple rising above the trees. A dirt path runs along the right side of the painting, lined with a wooden fence. The sky above is a soft blue, dotted with clouds. The overall atmosphere is one of peace and tranquility.
