LITERATURE:
Ludovic-Rodolfe Pissarro and Lionello Venturi, Camille Pissarro, Son Art-Son Oeuvre, Paris, 1939, vol. 1-2, p. 296, no. 1564, illustrated; John Rewald,Camille Pissarro, Letters to His Son Lucien, edited with the assistance of Lucien Pissarro, 3rd ed., New York, 1972, pp. 49-51.
This lively sketch depicts Pissarro's nephew, his half-sister's son, Alfred Isaacson. The artist's own son, Lucien, stayed with Alfred and his family when in London. Writing to Lucien in a letter dated December 28, 1883, Pissarro mentions this portrait, stating that it is a good resemblance (see Letters in Literature above). The spirited letter mostly addresses popular philosophical matters, revealing the artist's passion for the groundbreaking liberal ideas of the day. Pissarro promises to send his son a copy of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal and also encourages Alfred to read books on socialism as well as the works of John Stuart Mill: "They are easy reading and should give him [Alfred] a general idea of the movement which points to the new road our society must take" (Letters, p. 50).
This work will be included in the forthcoming Pissarro Catalogue critique of gouaches and pastels being prepared by the Wildenstein Institute. The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts. - Shipping Info
