Dr. Joachim Pissarro will include this work in his forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings by Camille Pissarro.
Pissarro held a keen interest in the depiction of market scenes and public gatherings throughout his career. The present work illustrates the St. Martin’s Day Fair, the largest and oldest fair in Pontoise. The fair attracted a large crowd, eager to partake in the shows of travelling performers, providing the ideal environment for Pissarro to observe people partaking in leisure activities.
