Woman walking on a Headland is a 1898 oil by Félix Pissarro, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a woman walking on a headland. She is wearing a long dress and has a hat on her head. The background is a rocky cliff with green grass and bushes. The sky is light blue with some clouds. The woman is walking towards the left side of the painting, and her body is facing the viewer. Her face is not visible, but her posture suggests that she is looking out at the sea. The cliff in the background is rugged and rocky, with some greenery growing on it. The painting is done in oil paint and has a sense of calmness to it. The use of light colors and soft brushstrokes creates a peaceful atmosphere.
