The artwork titled “Ville d’Avray” was created by the artist Camille Corot in 1873. Executed in oil on canvas, the piece is associated with the Realism art movement and measures 55.2 x 81.3 cm. Classified as a landscape genre, the artwork is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork presents a tranquil and scenic view of a woodland landscape, characterized by tall, slender trees that extend towards a subtly clouded blue sky. In the foreground, a path meanders through the forest, guided by the presence of a lone rider on horseback, adding a touch of human presence to the composition. A figure seated beside the path invokes a sense of calm and introspection. The detailed rendering of foliage and the interplay of light and shadow capture the serene and harmonious essence of the natural environment, epitomizing Corot’s adeptness in realist landscape painting.
