Horseman in the Woods, Large Plate (Le Grand Cavalier sous bois)

c. 1854

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

Associated Names

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

Artist, French, 1796 - 1875

The image depicts a scene with a rider on horseback traveling along an uneven path. Trees frame the rider on both sides, with loose and expressive brushstrokes giving a textured, sketch-like quality to the foliage and trees. The monochrome color palette is rendered in sepia tones, emphasizing the intricate line work and stippling techniques used to convey depth and texture.
