A Corner of a Studio is a 1868 watercolor by Henri-Joseph Harpignies, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a simple scene: a small wooden ledge against a rough stone wall. On it sits a yellow cloth with a floral pattern, holding a clear glass vase with three pink roses. The wall behind looks old and worn, with patches of peeling paint and dirt. The roses are the only bright spot in the dim, earthy tones. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to keep it quiet and real, not flashy. Next, check out technique: watercolor, glazing to see how layers of paint create depth.
