Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) 
Peasant Women Weeding the Grass, c. 1894
Etching printed in blue, red, yellow, and black on cream laid paper

In this late work — a proof impression with the artist’s own notations on the sheet — Pissarro renders simplified forms with strong outlines, color contrasts, and minimal detail.
