The artwork titled “Richmond, near London,” created by Camille Corot in 1862, is an oil on canvas painting that belongs to the Realism art movement. With dimensions of 20 x 34 cm, this landscape painting resides in a private collection. The piece captures a serene riverside view with tall, leafy trees creating a dense barrier on the right side, while buildings and a boat are discernible in the background to the left. The foliage is lush and well-defined, giving the environment a tranquil and idyllic atmosphere. Two figures, possibly pedestrians, can be seen on the right, adding a subtle human element to the otherwise nature-dominated scene. The overall composition and the meticulous details reflect Corot’s skill in capturing realistic landscapes.
