Camille Pissarro
Hay Harvest at Éragny   1901

oil on canvas
53.9 x 64.7 cm
Purchased 1946
National Gallery of Canada (no. 4635)

In December 1884, Pissarro and his family moved from his home near Pontoise to Éragny on the River Epte, near Gisors. This was to be his principal place of residence until his death in 1903 and an ideal setting for his paintings of rural labour and the harvest. Pissarro's careful arrangement of figures into repeated poses creates a balanced rhythm of line and form across the canvas.
