Camille Pissarro (French Artist, 1830-1903). Original Pen Sketch ("croquis," or a quickly-done drawing or sketch) of an Infant. Initialed "C. P." at the bottom right. [n.p., 1893]. Approximately 3.5 x 2.25 inches. Mounted onto the verso of a carte de visite of Pissarro's son, Lucien Pissarro. With an ink note in Lucien Pissarro's hand and signed by him on the recto of the carte de visite: "portrait de Jeanne/-1893-/croquis de Camille Pissarro/[Lucien Pissarro's stylized "L.P." signature in an oval]". Some toning, thumbsoiling to sketch and carte, a line of glue residue at top of card (not affecting sketch), from where this was once mounted. Still, a charming sketch by a major French painter, and a lovely portrait of his daughter, Jeanne, when she was an infant.
