About the piece

Painted around 1865, this work by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot exemplifies the Barbizon school's mastery of light and atmosphere. The composition balances the verticality of towering trees with the horizontal repose of the water's edge, all rendered in the soft, silver-toned palette for which the artist is celebrated.
