Camille Pissarro made numerous studies and portraits of his children. The child represented in this drawing is most likely Jeanne-Rachel Pissarro, nicknamed 'Minette'. Jeanne (Minette) was frequently convalescing during her short life, and Dr. Joachim Pissarro has described Camille Pissarro's paintings of her as perhaps the most deeply moving works that he executed.
