Description
Dating from about 1823, this is one of the artist's earliest surviving works, painted out-of-doors in the village of Chaville near Ville d'Avray where Corot's parents had bought a house in 1817. The neat touches of paint, light colour and carefully structured view owe something to the example of Corot's master, Jean-Victor Bertin.
