After Camille Pissarro passed away in 1903 in Paris, Paul-Émile and his mother moved back to the town of Eragny. The proximity to Giverny allowed Paul-Émile to take lessons from Claude Monet, who was one of Camille's close friends.

| Paul-Emile Pissarro Les Bottes d'Avoine oil on canvas, 17 1/2 x 23 1/2 inches |
Les Bottes d'Avoine, by Paul-Émile Pissarro is a classic example of the Post-Impressionist movement. The field of haystacks is reminiscent of the work of Paul-Émile's mentor Monet as well as today's most sought after Post-Impressionist, Vincent Van Gogh. The movement created by the thick application of paint reveals the stylistic influence of his father's work.
