FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
This famous piece is the result of some of Pissarro's later years' studies. Around the year 1880, Pissarro began studying new techniques and new ways of producing paintings. At this point, he took back subject matters he had worked in his early years, like the life on the field and interior landscapes and workers. When Pissarro was 17, he chose to move to Caracas, Venezuela, where he spent two years working as an artist.
This late piece summarizes that subject matter but has an entirely new approach to how he is going to represent that into the canvas. 1880 was also the year Pissarro left the Impressionist movement. Thus, it also marks the beginning of Post-Impressionism. He intended to show regular people in their daily jobs. For the first time, artists weren't romanticizing or idealizing the simple lives of ordinary people. Instead, they would paint these people striped from glamour and pomp. This effort to produce artwork portraying regular people was then considered revolutionary.
In 1885, he met Paul Signac and Georges Seurat and learned a more scientific approach to creating the color schemes on the canvas. Instead of previously mixing the colors on the palette and applying it to the canvas, he started studying the technique of using small patches of pure color together to create the deception of blended colors.
Pissarro painted this work using this Pointillistic technique, depicting some people under an apple tree. They are working, picking apples, and putting them in baskets that are placed all around them.
The high horizon line shows a vivid yellow field covered in low grass. In the back, it's possible to see an animal pulling a wagon. The horizon line is covered in similar trees, all of them with luscious dark green treetops, evenly spread around the scape.
The tree in the middle has an oddly geometrical trunk — thousands of small dots of colored paint form the top of this tree. The tree casts a shadow on the ground, creating a fascinating dark effect. The artist chose to paint these spots using not darker colors, but colors that are complementary to his palette.
The characters wear servant clothes. The women are wearing long skirts with aprons and shirts. The only man in the painting is wearing a white shirt with long sleeves and a brown vest and pants. The color palette is mostly warm, despite the cool colors used to build different hues.

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.
Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.
If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.
If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.
All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
Unframed paintings are covered with a special protective film, are gently rolled and then placed inside a strong specially designed tube.
Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
