Landscape 1850 - 1875

This charcoal drawing, created by French artist Camille Corot between 1850 and 1875, exemplifies his mastery of landscape depiction. Corot's characteristic use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and tranquility in this pastoral scene. The central tree, rendered in bold strokes, dominates the foreground, while the distant landscape fades into a hazy horizon, suggesting a sense of serenity and calm. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this intimate drawing provides insight into Corot's working methods and his enduring impact on the landscape genre.
