About the piece

Painted in 1864, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s 'The Evening Star' is a hallmark of his late, poetic style. The composition features a lone figure beside a slender birch tree gazing at the first star of evening, while a shepherd and his flock wander in the soft shadows of the background, evoking a sense of timeless tranquility.
