McIlhenny Fund, 1941 LabelPissarro helped revive a process for
making color prints that was originally developed in Paris in
the eighteenth century. This classic method consisted of
superimposing four separate plates, each inked in a different
color (red, blue, yellow, and black). For Farm Women Planting,
Pissarro omitted the black plate to obtain the sunny aspect that
makes this impression unique.
