"Portrait of Paulemile" is an oil painting by Camille Pissarro created in 1899. The painting depicts a young boy, Paulemile, seated and holding a book. Pissarro's signature style of pointillism, where small dabs of paint create a mosaic-like effect, is visible throughout the work. The painting portrays a sense of intimacy and captures a moment of quiet contemplation, highlighting Pissarro's interest in capturing everyday life. This work exemplifies Pissarro's move towards a more naturalistic style, and it's considered a quintessential piece of Impressionism.
