Camille Pissarro, Prairie avec vaches, brume, soleil couchant à Éragny. Estimate
$2,000,000–3,000,000.
Dating from 1891, the present work was painted in Éragny, a small village on the banks of the river Epte. Pissarro often went to harbor cities like Rouen and Le Havre, to Paris where he met with friends as well as dealers, and to London, where he would visit his sons. Exhausted by frequent travels, the artist would return to the peace of Éragny, where he took joy in painting the garden and the meadow in front of his house.
