Woman in a Hammock is a 1836 graphite by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman lying in a hammock, surrounded by a tangle of furniture and drapery. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The scene feels crowded, with swirling fabrics and furniture that don’t quite match up. The artist used soft shading to give the drawing depth, focusing on light and shadow. This style was common in the mid-1800s. Next, check out Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille to see how his other works compare.
