My Wordle score as the number of people in an artwork. Today it's Camille Pissarro’s ‘La Récolte des Pois’, was originally commissioned by Vincent Van Gogh’s brother, Theo.

Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was an impressionist painter based in France who focussed on landscapes but frequently changed his style and subjects.
