The artwork, titled “Corot’s Studio,” was created by Camille Corot around 1860. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece is a notable example of the Realism art movement. It measures 64 x 48.4 cm and falls into the genre painting category. Currently, this artwork is part of a private collection.
In “Corot’s Studio,” a woman wearing a pink dress with a dark bodice sits beside an easel, her hand resting on a vase. The background appears dimly lit, adding a sense of intimacy to the scene. With her attentive gaze directed towards the viewer, she exudes a calm and pensive mood. The detailed rendering of her attire and the objects around her, including the unfinished landscape painting on the easel, reflects the artist’s keen observation and commitment to representing everyday life with authenticity. The textured brushstrokes and muted color palette further enhance the realistic yet tender ambiance of the composition.
