Self-portrait by Camille Pissarro
A c. 1900 oil on canvas self-portrait by Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), the Danish-French impressionist painter. The artist had a long white beard from middle age onwards, which led to friends in cafés calling "Hail Moses" when he entered. This work shows the artist's ability to use bold colours and form for effect. (Private Collection)
