Ivy Cottage, Coldharbour: Sun and Snow

Lucien Pissarro, the eldest offspring of the renowned French Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro, drew substantial inspiration in his own artistic pursuits from both his father and, during a specific period, Georges Seurat. In the year 1890, he relocated to England and played a pivotal role as one of the founding members of the Camden Town Group in 1911. In 1916, he officially became a British citizen, yet he preferred to refer to himself as a "Channel painter."

In this particular landscape, Lucien Pissarro's artistic focus lies in capturing the interplay of light upon a snowy terrain and the juxtaposition of various tonalities. While Pissarro primarily resided in London, the creation of this artwork took place in Coldharbour, situated near Dorking in Surrey.
