About the piece

Painted in 1869 by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, this work exemplifies the atmospheric Barbizon style. It depicts a quiet scene in the Beauvaisis marshes, where delicate, silhouetted trees frame a pond and grazing cattle, rendered with the artist's signature silvery-green palette and luminous touch.
