Camille Pissarro (French, 1830-1903) Two Women at Market Stamped "C.P." l.r. Charcoal and watercolor on paper, 8 5/8 x 6 3/4 in. (22.0 x 17.0 cm), framed. Condition: Toning, mat burn, paper tape around the perimeter of the reverse, cellophane tape remnants along the top edge of the reverse, likely from an old hinge. Provenance: By descent through three generations of the consignor's family. N.B. Accompanied by a letter from Dr. Joachim Pissarro dated June 22, 2017, stating that the work will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings by Camille Pissarro Dr. Pissarro's letter explains that Pissarro was particularly interested in market scenes in the 1880s and 1890s, especially for the interactions among ages, classes, and sexes. The work at hand is closely related to a gouache by Pissarro titled Marché aux Pommes de Terre, Boulevard des Fossés, Pontoise. The two foreground figures are almost identical in each work, although the gouache presents some extra detail particularly in the background. Pissarro likely conceived of this drawing around the same time as the gouache, c. 1882.
