Young Woman at the Well 1870

"Young Woman at the Well" (1870) by French painter Camille Corot depicts a young woman standing near a well. The woman is dressed in a simple, colorful gown of green and red, with a white blouse, which contrasts with the muted tones of the background. The painting uses a soft, atmospheric style, typical of Corot's work, and his signature loose brushstrokes create a sense of movement and fluidity. This style is often referred to as "Barbizon School" or "Realism." The work is now housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands.
