Although best known for his paintings, Camille Pissarro was also an important and inventive printmaker. This work was created during a period in which he was experimenting extensively with transfer lithography. Rather than drawing directly on a stone, Pissarro produced a pen and ink study that was transferred to the printing surface, allowing the aesthetic of drawn lines and the texture of the paper to be preserved. Like many of his lithographs, Pissarro printed Woman Sitting by a Pond in only two impressions rather than a formal edition.
