Marietta 1843

Camille Corot's "Marietta - à Rome" is an oil painting from 1843 that depicts a reclining female nude. The work's soft, muted palette and loose brushstrokes are characteristic of Corot's later style. His signature, "Corot," is visible in the lower left corner of the painting. The title, "Marietta - à Rome," suggests that the subject was a woman from Rome. Corot's paintings often feature figures in natural settings, but "Marietta - à Rome" presents a more intimate scene, focusing solely on the sitter and a suggestion of a bed. The artwork captures a sense of sensuality and quiet contemplation.
