CAMILLE PISSARRO and GEORGE W THORNLEY
La Mi-Carême à Paris.

Lithograph printed in violet on off-white Chine appliqué, circa 1900. 200x250 mm; 8x10 inches, full margins. Edition of 25. Signed by both Pissarro and Thornley in pencil, lower margin. Published by Boussod-Valadon, Paris. A very good impression.

Pissarro likely acted on the advice of Edgar Degas, who had collaborated with Thornley on a suite of lithographs after his drawings (see Reed/Shapiro 25b) during the late 1880s, when he decided to create the current work.
