1873 (ca.), Camille Pissarro, Jeanne holding a Fan -- Ashmolean Museum (Oxford)
From the museum label: The artist's daughter, Jeanne-Rachel, known as Minette, was born in 1865 and died at Pontoise on 6 April 1874. She was a sickly child and was treated by Dr Paul Gachet, who also treated Van Gogh.
In this portrait, painted when she was eight, the subdued colouring and tentative handling gives an added intimacy to the scene. She holds a Japanese fan, reflecting her father's increasing interest in Japanese art.
