1871
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Willows and White Poplars (Saules et peupliers blancs) is a 1871 ink by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet, wind-swept landscape with tall trees bending sideways. The branches twist sharply, and the ground looks rough and uneven. In the distance, a few small hills or rocks sit against a faint, wavy horizon. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest movement in the trees. The whole scene feels sketchy and alive, like a quick study of nature. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (UK: KORR-oh, US: kə-ROH, kor-OH; French: ; 16 July 1796 – 22 February 1875), or simply Camille Corot, was a French landscape and portrait painter as well as a printmaker in etching.
