Henry RI Pilleau is an Impressionism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry Pilleau put brush to paper in Egypt and the Levant, leaving small watercolors of rivers and ports. In 1868 he stood near Bulak and painted The Nile, its traffic and light stilled on the sheet. A pencil drawing of an oriental port shows ships crowded in harbor. Tap “The Nile, near Bulak” to follow the river’s edge and step into the scene.
