Après-midi au bord de l'eau
(Afternoon by the Water)

Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (lower left)
Oil on canvas

H. Claude Pissarro masterfully captures the radiant beauty of the French countryside in Après-midi au bord de l'eau (Afternoon by the Water). A winding stream draws the eye through a sunlit landscape framed by tall, slender trees, where a small group of figures pauses to enjoy the tranquility of nature.

Thick, expressive brushstrokes and the artist's signature impasto technique animate the foliage, water and distant fields in luminous passages of blue, green, lavender and gold, creating a vibrant composition filled with light, movement and atmosphere.

H. Claude Pissarro, a descendant of the renowned Impressionist Camille Pissarro, displayed remarkable artistic talent from an early age. He debuted his work at just 14 years old and later honed his skills at the prestigious École du Louvre and École Normale Supérieure in Paris. A pivotal moment in his career came in 1959, when he was commissioned by the White House to paint a portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, further establishing his reputation as a distinguished artist.

Pissarro’s work has since been showcased in prominent exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States, earning him international acclaim. Celebrated for his luminous palette, expressive handling of paint and charming scenes of everyday life, his compositions carry forward the artistic legacy of the Pissarro family while remaining distinctly his own. Highly sought after for their color, texture and joyful atmosphere, H. Claude Pissarro’s works continue to captivate collectors worldwide.
