About the piece

Painted in 1871, this work by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot exemplifies his late, lyrical style. The composition is anchored by a gnarled oak tree on the left, while a small group of figures in the distance adds a sense of scale and narrative to the ethereal, misty valley typical of the Barbizon influence.
