The present auction offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire works by five different members of the enormously talented Pissarro family of painters. Represented are landscapes of France, England and Ireland, still lifes, and a figure painting by direct descendants of the patriarch of the clan, Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), who achieved fame as a prominent member of the French Impressionists. Six of his seven children became artists. The seven oils and a pastel on offer include works by his first child, Lucien Pissarro (1863-1944); his third, George Manzana Pissarro (1871-1961); his fifth, Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro (1878-1952); his seventh, Paulémile Pissarro (1884-1972); and his grandson and son of Paulémile, Hughes Claude Pissarro (born 1935).
