Catalogue Note
The present lot is related to a series of illustrations for a translation of the Greek author Longus's Daphnis and Chloë, undertaken by Camille Pissarro and his eldest son Lucien in 1895 and abandoned by 1899. This work is a preparatory drawing for a Daphnis and Chloë illustration in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
