"Young Peasant Girls Resting in the Fields near Pontoise" is a painting, created in 1882 by Camille Pissarro. This artwork, housed in the National Gallery of Art, measures 81.6 cm in height and 65.41 cm in width. The painting depicts two young peasant girls taking a break in a verdant field, their figures dominating the foreground. They are seated amidst tall grasses, their backs to the viewer, with a serene landscape unfolding behind them. The girl on the right, wearing a brown jacket and a yellow headscarf, appears to be gazing downwards, while the other girl, clad in a blue and white striped shirt and a red head covering, seems lost in thought. A few cows graze peacefully in the distance, adding to the pastoral tranquility of the scene. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the painting.
