The artwork titled “Portrait of Octavie Sennegon” was created by Camille Corot in the year 1833. This piece, which belongs to the Realism art movement, is rendered in oil on canvas and measures 35 by 29.5 centimeters. The painting is a portrait, showing the subject in a detailed and realistic manner typical of the Realism genre.
The artwork depicts a young woman seated, posed in a serene and introspective manner. She dons a high-necked dark dress with voluminous sleeves, adorned with a white collar and a red scarf tied at the neck. In her hands, she gently holds a bright red flower, which provides a striking contrast to the more subdued tones of her attire and the dark background. Her expression is calm and poised, complemented by delicate facial features that suggest a sense of quiet contemplation. The setting around her is minimal, drawing attention solely to the subject and her understated elegance.
