Little Sister 1854

"Little Sister," a lithograph by Camille Corot, depicts a poignant scene of two figures, likely a mother and daughter, in a rural setting. Corot, known for his Barbizon School landscapes, utilizes soft, expressive lines to capture the gentle intimacy of the scene. The figures, slightly obscured by the atmospheric haze, are positioned close together, their bodies leaning into one another, suggesting a strong bond. The artwork's soft, tonal qualities create a sense of warmth and tenderness, characteristic of Corot's style. "Little Sister" exemplifies Corot's artistic mastery in portraying the everyday life of the French countryside.
