"Rue de l'Hermitage near Ennery, Pontoise" is an 1877 painting by Camille Pissarro. This oil on canvas landscape, measuring 55 cm × 46.5 cm (21.7 in × 18.3 in), is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay. The painting depicts a quiet street scene in a rural village, likely near Pontoise, France. A road, lined with a wall on the left and buildings on the right, extends into the distance. Two figures stroll along the road in the foreground, while a horse-drawn carriage approaches from the background. Large trees dominate the left side of the composition, their autumnal foliage rendered in Pissarro's characteristically loose brushstrokes. The sky is a pale blue, hinting at a cloudy day. The overall impression is one of peaceful, everyday life in the French countryside.
