Brick Kiln at Éragny Frame:natural and the Mount of OlivesPissarro moved from Pontoise to ragny sur Epte in 1884 and remained there for the rest of his life. The village was smaller and less modernised than Pontoise. The brick kiln, owned by M. Delafolie, could be seen from the Pissarro's home. It had almost fallen into disuse. The water pump stands forlorn in the foreground and the buildings in the background are overgrown. The short brush strokes anticipate Pissarro's interest in Pointillism.
