Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot - A Wagon in the Plains of Artois [1871]


This is one of five small paintings by Corot in the National Gallery thought to have been painted during the artist's trip to the Artois region of north-east France between April and July 1871. He painted this picture in May 1871 during his stay with his friend and biographer, Alfred Robaut, in Douai.

[Oil on canvas, 37.3 x 35.2 cm]
