Low morning sun shines through a screen of tall, bare poplars and willows onto a snowy field at Éragny. The light turns the trunks and branches pale gold and casts lilac shadows across the snow. In the foreground, a small figure of a woman walks along a path, carrying a load in each hand. The canvas is tall and narrow, so the trees run almost its full height. Camille Pissarro had lived at Éragny-sur-Epte, a village north-west of Paris, since 1884, and painted the fields around his house many times. He signed and dated this one 1895 at the lower left. It is in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, part of the John Pickering Lyman Collection given by Miss Theodora Lyman in 1919.

Where it works
Pale gold trees and lilac shadows on sunlit snow, almost white overall. A tall, bright picture for a hallway, landing or bedroom in winter, paired with Twachtman's Winter Harmony; a dark wood frame gives the pale tones an edge.
