Road by a Field of Cabbages is a 1880 by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a lone tree standing in a field of cabbages. The plants fill the lower half, their rounded leaves drawn in quick, loose strokes. A dirt path cuts through the field, leading toward a distant horizon with a faint outline of trees or buildings. The artist used soft grays and yellows to keep it simple, focusing on light and shadow. The brushwork is rough, almost like scribbles, which makes the scene feel quick and alive. Try looking up Impressionism next to see how this style changed art.
