A tranquil yet vivid composition by Paul-Émile Pissarro, the youngest son of Camille Pissarro and a distinguished painter in his own right, this work captures a peaceful waterside park, likely painted en plein air in France during the mid-20th century. Framed by gracefully arching branches, a still pond glimmers beneath soft sunlight, its surface rendered with characteristic impressionist brushwork. Dappled light dances across the water, while leaf-laced trees and distant rooftops evoke the pastoral beauty found in many of Pissarro’s most lyrical landscapes.

Paul-Émile, trained under the influence of his father and his older siblings (notably Lucien and Georges), inherited the impressionist palette and evolved it with his own more modern sensibilities, often incorporating Fauvist intensity and bold line. This painting showcases his skill in balancing form and color to convey a mood of quiet joy.

The canvas is set within a vintage linen-lined frame with gilt trim and wood molding, complementing the natural tones of the painting.
