About the piece
Painted circa 1871, this evocative portrait by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot features Emma Dobigny, one of the artist's most frequent models, posed as a 'Greek Girl.' The work exemplifies Corot's late-career transition into figure painting, characterized by an atmospheric, almost dreamy background and a sensitive, painterly treatment of light falling across the sitter's face and embroidered costume.
