EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for "The Asphysia" by the renowned French artist, Camille Pissarro. Created with pen and ink over pencil on glazed paper, this composition measures 23.1x17.7 cm and is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. In this thought-provoking image, we are transported into a bedroom setting where a child lies peacefully on a bed near an open window. The skylight above floods the room with soft light, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasts with the title's suggestion of asphyxia. Pissarro's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his skillful rendering of furniture and furnishings within the room. This preparatory drawing captures both compositional elements and emotional depth, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of childhood innocence and vulnerability. The monochrome palette adds to the ethereal quality of the artwork while emphasizing Pissarro's mastery in capturing light and shadow. Through his delicate lines and careful shading techniques, he brings life to each stroke on paper. As we observe this mesmerizing study from one of history's greatest artists, we are reminded once again of Pissarro's ability to evoke emotion through his artistry. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as well as an invitation for us to explore our own interpretations within its enigmatic beauty.
