About the piece

Created around 1870, this serene oil painting by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot is a classic example of the artist's late 'souvenir' style. The work features Corot’s iconic silvery-green palette and diffused light, evoking a poetic and restful atmosphere. The composition balances the verticality of the wispy trees with the horizontal stillness of the water, punctuated by a lone cow and a solitary figure, reflecting the artist's deep harmony with the natural world.
