Camille Pissarro - The Woman and the Child at the Well (1882)

 By the 1880s, Camille Pissarro, like most of his Impressionist colleagues, was looking for an alternative to the style he had adopted in the previous decade, deciding to focus on the drawings rather than landscapes. Of the 36 paintings he exhibited at the seventh Impressionist exhibition, in the spring of 1882, 27 were figurative paintings. Woman and Child at the Well is one of the works that depicts peasant girls taking a break from housework, their posture and gestures suggesting stories that are still ambiguous. As the model for the boy in this work, Pissarro used his fourth son, Ludovic-Rodolphe, who was four years old at the time. (Art Institute of Chicago - Oil on canvas, 81.5 × 66.4 cm)
