By virtue of their size, placement, and quiet dignity, these youthful laborers dominate the landscape setting—an open field near Pissarro’s house at Éragny. Sympathetic to anarchist ideals, the artist wanted to preserve the values of agrarian society that were being threatened by the rapid industrialization of France. He began this picture in summer 1891 and completed it in mid-January 1892, a month before the opening of a major exhibition of his work organized by his dealer Joseph Durand-Ruel. Many of the fifty paintings were sold from the show, but Pissarro kept this canvas and gave it to his wife.

　Set in a field near his home in Éragny, Two Young Peasant Women is one of Pissarro's later works; the product of a renewed interest in impressionism following his collaboration with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. The pointillist technique, in which small patches of pure color blend together when viewed from a distance, had proven far too mechanical for Pissarro, who recounted that "It was impossible to be true to my sensations and consequently to render life and movement, impossible to be faithful to the effects, so random and admirable, of nature, impossible to give an individual character to my drawing, [that] I had to give up." According to the art historian John Reward, his works of this late period became "more subtle, his color scheme more refined, his drawing firmer," as he "approached old age with an increased mastery."
