Portret van Camille Corot 1861 - 1867

This is a portrait of Camille Corot by Carjat et Cie, a photographic studio that flourished in Paris during the mid-19th century. This portrait is likely a carte de visite, a popular format for photographs at the time, and is housed in the Rijksmuseum. While it is not known if Corot commissioned this portrait himself, it provides an intimate glimpse into the appearance of this influential French landscape artist. The photograph, taken between 1861 and 1867, shows Corot in his later years, dressed in a suit and waistcoat with a slight smile.
