Lucien Pissarro was the eldest of Camille Pissarro's five children and himself became a painter and printmaker, eventually settling in England and helping found the Eragny Press. This portrait reflects the close artistic bond between father and son — Camille corresponded with Lucien constantly about painting technique and theory, letters that remain an important record of Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist ideas. Camille Pissarro was a devoted mentor not only to his own children but to younger painters including Cézanne and Gauguin.
