Description

This view shows one of the roads connecting the hamlet of Valhermeil in Auvers to Pontoise, the village northwest of Paris where Pissarro lived for many years. Between 1873 and 1882, he painted about twenty works in this area, several of which feature the same house with a red roof. Made in 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, this painting is about villagers walking on paths through the countryside, which was a favorite of the artist, reflecting his interest in everyday rural life.
