Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

National Gallery of Art

This painting displays an outdoor scene with a large tree to the left and a low horizon with a few buildings and what look like boats floating on blue water on the right. Closer to us on the right, several people are walking along a path towards us. One of them appears to be a woman in a brown dress with a yellow sash, carrying a basket on her head. The other two people appear to be adults with children, one adult wearing a blue dress and the other draped in a red cloak. The people have light brown skin. The sky above is light blue with fluffy white clouds The color palette includes greens, browns, and blues.
