Landscape

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, c. 1870/1875

The artwork depicts a landscape with a naturalistic style. The horizon is placed low, showing an expansive sky filled with clouds. Closest to us, there is a grassy area with a small boat and a figure in a red hat. Tall, slender trees are on the left, with leaves rendered with brushstrokes, while more dense foliage is visible to the right. In the distance, beyond a body of water, a cluster of buildings sits on the horizon. The color palette includes greens, browns, and blues.
