The Driveway

Camille Pissarro

National Gallery of Art

The landscape view is sketched in a loose pencil technique. The horizon is low, with trees dominating each side of the composition. The left side shows a cluster of large, leafy trees with a variety of shading techniques. The right displays tall, slender trees blending into the sky. In the distance, outlines of buildings are visible, possibly farmhouses, placed in an open terrain. The color palette is monochromatic, achieved through pencil pressure and texture, creating a serene atmosphere.
