La Mi-Carême à Paris.

Lithograph printed in dark violet on off-white Chine appliqué, circa 1900. 200x250 mm; 8x10 inches, full margins. The deluxe edition of 25.

In his late career Pissarro (1830-1903) turned from painting countrysides to Parisian boulevards. This lithograph is based on his 1897 oil on canvas, La Mi-Carême à Paris, now in the collection of the Fogg Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge.
