Woman in a Toque with a Mandolin 1855

"Woman in a Toque with a Mandolin" is an 1855 oil painting by the French artist Camille Corot. The painting depicts a young woman, dressed in a blue gown and a black toque, seated outdoors in a landscape setting. She is holding a mandolin, which suggests she is a musician. This work is typical of Corot's style, which often featured idealized depictions of nature and figures. Corot's paintings are known for their soft, atmospheric light, which he achieved through the use of delicate brushstrokes. The painting is currently in a private collection.
