About the piece

Painted circa 1860, this evocative oil by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot captures a moment of rural life with characteristic atmospheric delicacy. The scene depicts a hay wagon and rider navigating a shallow crossing, anchored by the soft, diffused presence of a grand tree against a shimmering, silver-grey sky.
