Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts A Young Mother at the Entrance of a Wood by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a black and white artwork. The scene shows a woman standing at the edge of a wood, wearing a long dress. She stands on the left side, slightly off-center. Her body faces to the right, while her head is turned, looking over her left shoulder. Her left arm is bent, and her hand is on her chest or shoulder. Her right arm hangs down. She has dark hair. The wood has several trees with visible trunks and foliage. A grassy field or clearing is behind the trees, with a line of hills on the horizon. The sky is light, with no distinct features. The artwork has a rectangular shape with a darker border around the edges. The corners are slightly rounded. The artist's signature is in the bottom-left corner.
