The collection of drawings and watercolours by Camille Pissarro
(1830-1903) in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is the largest in the world
and is the largest collection of drawings by any single Impressionist
artist. A close friend of Cezanne and Gauguin, he was the only member of
the group to exhibit in all eight Impressionist exhibitions between
1874-76. This work illustrates the full range of his work from the 1850s
through to one of his last pictures, painted from his window in Le havre
in 1903, Quai au Havre.
