Young Fisherman on the Shore
ca. 1868-1872
Camille Pissarro

The painting clearly shows the influence of Daubigny and more especially of Corot, Pissarro's great teacher who showed him the poetry of nature and suggested to him to paint directly from it. Elements of Corot's art also are discernible in the compositional design, and in the use of light to create space and in colour.
