This is a pencil sketch by Camille Pissarro, a prominent figure of Impressionism. The sketch depicts a young boy carrying a fishing pole, possibly on his way to a fishing spot. Pissarro's quick strokes and loose lines emphasize the figure's movement and capture the essence of his subject. This simple yet expressive sketch exemplifies Pissarro's keen observation of everyday life and his talent for capturing the fleeting moments of reality.
