1853
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Farm Children (Les Enfants de la ferme) is a 1853 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image looks faded and grainy, like an old photo. Two kids sit on the ground, holding hands. One is leaning back, the other rests their chin on their knees. The background is blurry, with dark shapes that might be trees or bushes. The painting uses a technique that makes it look like a photo from the 1800s—it’s called *cliché-verre*. This was a way to mix painting and photography back then. If you like this style, check out Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille.
