Did you know?
While Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot is most famous for his misty, poetic landscapes, his late-life figure paintings—including this portrait—were highly admired by his contemporaries for their nuanced psychological depth. Interestingly, these portraits were often kept private and only became widely known and celebrated after his death in 1875.
