Portrait of a Woman c. 19th century

This oil painting on canvas by the French artist Camille Corot depicts a woman in profile, captured in a contemplative mood. The subject is seated, her back turned to the viewer, against a hazy landscape background. The brushstrokes are soft and the colors muted, creating a sense of tranquility and serenity. This painting is a fine example of Corot's later style, which often featured idealized landscapes and solitary figures.
