About the piece
Painted in 1866, this striking work by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot depicts a model named Agostina in traditional Roman dress. The composition masterfully balances the solid, detailed presence of the figure with the soft, silvery atmosphere of the background landscape, showcasing Corot's transition from neoclassical precision to his later, more poetic style.
