Paysans Attablés À La Porte D’un Cabaret c. 1865 - 1870

This painting by Camille Corot, titled "Paysans Attablés À La Porte D'un Cabaret", shows a group of peasants seated outside of a tavern. Corot, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, is known for his landscapes and use of soft, diffused light. The scene is characterized by the interplay of natural elements like foliage and a hazy sky. The figures are rendered with an almost impressionistic quality, focusing on the overall mood of the scene rather than minute detail. Corot's works are known for their poetic sensibility and the tranquility they evoke, capturing the essence of rural France in the 19th century.
