“The Little Angel” is a portrait painting created by Camille Corot around the year 1870. Rendered in oil on canvas, this work is associated with the Romanticism movement and is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a young girl standing next to a piece of furniture, possibly the edge of a bed, with a red cloth draped over it. She wears a light-colored coat over a layered dress and stands comfortably, holding what appears to be a basket of flowers on her shoulder. The expression on her face, combined with the tender handling of the basket, conveys a sense of innocence and calmness. The use of muted tones and soft brushwork, characteristic of Corot’s technique, contribute to the tranquil and intimate atmosphere of the composition.
