Did you know?
While Corot is primarily celebrated for his atmospheric, misty landscapes, he painted a series of exquisite figure studies during his later years that were often kept private during his lifetime. The 'Lady in Blue' is considered one of his finest examples, showcasing his mastery of color balance and the sophisticated handling of the dress's fabric, which serves as the focal point of the composition.
