About the piece

Created around 1850, this oil work by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot exemplifies his transition into a poetic, tonalist style. The composition employs his signature feathery brushwork and a muted palette of silvery blues and earthy tones to evoke the quiet tranquility of the French countryside.
