The Artist's Son Georges [verso]

Camille Pissarro

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of a child facing forward, positioned slightly to the left. The child's facial features are delicately drawn with a slightly somber expression. They have large blue eyes, a rosy complexion, and straight, shoulder-length brown hair. The child is wearing light pastel-colored clothing and a scarf or cloak around the neck. The background is undefined, with a vague sketch of an object on the left side and the rest filled with muted colors, highlighting the child.
