Ruhende Frau unter Pappeln am Fluß 1866

"Ruhende Frau unter Pappeln am Fluß" (Resting Woman under Poplars by the River) is a pencil drawing by the renowned French artist Camille Corot, created in 1866. This delicate sketch depicts a woman seated beneath a tall poplar tree, its branches reaching towards a tranquil river scene. The composition features a peaceful landscape with soft, flowing lines and gentle light, characteristic of Corot's style, known as Barbizon. This drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a testament to Corot's mastery of capturing the beauty of nature and the fleeting moments of tranquility in the world around him.
