Pea Harvesters [recto]

Camille Pissarro

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of five people. Two individuals are seated or crouched on the ground. One person is wearing a hat with colorful stripes and a light short-sleeved shirt, and the other is wearing a headscarf and a purple garment. The standing person in the center wears a blue dress with a lighter blue apron and has a red scarf tied around the head. To the right is an outline sketch of a person. Faces are not detailed, with minimal depiction of facial features. The background shows a faintly sketched person in a bent over position. The setting appears to be outdoors, perhaps a field or garden. No visible jewelry or objects are being held apart from the foliage in the hands of the central figure.
