View of Provins 1840 - 1842

"View of Provins" is a pencil drawing by Camille Corot, created between 1840 and 1842. The work depicts a picturesque scene of Provins, a medieval town in France, with a focus on a tall, imposing tower. Corot's delicate and precise lines capture the essence of the town's architecture and the surrounding landscape. The soft shading adds depth and dimension to the composition, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. The drawing is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
