pissarro oise near pontoise Dimensions (inches):27 x 32" the burial of Saint PaulThis painting reveals Pissarro's taste (almost fanaticism) for countryside and rural settings.

That's why it highlights the contrast of the chimney in the background, with the peaceful lifestyle shown by the two passersby and the horse rider.
