Self-Portrait Pissarro was between 22 and 24 years old when he painted this self-portrait. At that age, he was living and working in Caracas, Venezuela, where he and the Danish painter Fritz Melbye, 4 years older, had set up a studio.

Camille Pissarro in Caracas One day, while sketching in the port of Saint Thomas, the 22-year old Pissarro met a young Danish painter from Kopenhagen, Fritz Melbye (1826-1869), who encouraged him to take on painting as a full-time profession.  When Pissarro finally couldn't obtain his father's permission to devote himself to painting, he left a note for his parents and basically ran away. He followed Melbye to La Guaira, the port of Caracas, where they arrived on November 12, 1852. As he later said, he "bolted to Caracas in order to get clear of the bondage of bourgeois life."  During this time Pissarro commenced many of the practices that would endure in his art, including direct observations of nature and an interest in depicting the life of peasants. He worked with Melbye for two years in Venezuela, where they set up this studio. In those days, he would sign his work with "C. Pizzarro".
