Le Quai du Pothuis à Pontoise (Primary Title)
Camille Pissarro, French, 1830 - 1903 (Artist)
Views of Pontoise, a northwestern suburb of Paris, were among Pissarro’s most frequent subjects after he settled there in 1866. The bridge over the River Oise that gave the town its name is visible at left (pont is French for bridge). Here, Pissarro portrays the town’s traditional aspects—horse-drawn carts and peasant women—in a thoroughly modern, fully Impressionist style.
