An older man with ruddy, peachy skin stands in the lower right of this vertical painting holding a large, green, leafy cabbage. He is shown from the hips up and faces our left with his body angled slightly toward us. His head tilts down with his mouth open to gaze at the vibrant green cabbage held tightly in both hands. Fringes of gray hair sprout from under his peanut-brown, short-brimmed cap, and gray stubble frames his open mouth. His cheeks are hollow but he has a fleshy double chin. The collar of his white shirt is visible at the neckline of his long-sleeved, tan jacket. The jacket is covered by a seafoam-green apron touched with short strokes of navy-blue, teal, peach, and pine-green paint. He stands against several rows of round cabbages and other indistinct olive-green objects that might be more vegetables stacked up beyond him. The very top of the composition is filled with a band of tightly speckled mauve, peach, and white, with a few flecks of blue and green. The artist signed and dated the lower right with red paint, “C. Pissarro 1883-95.”
The skill with which this gardener tends to his cabbage was likely developed over a lifetime of hard work. Pissarro often painted rural laborers, using a wide spectrum of colors to create brilliant, vivid portraits. Alongside Claude Monet, Pissarro was one of the leading landscape painters of the impressionist movement. But unlike Monet, he was also devoted to painting people.
