Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

 
Jeune femme a la fontaine
This painting was expected to earn up to $1.8 million 
at a June 2010 sale at Sotheby’s.

"Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796 - 1875) was a French landscape painter and printmaker in etching. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon school of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism."
