1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Breakfast in a Glade is a 1857 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with tall trees and wild grass. In the middle, a picnic blanket sits on the ground, holding a basket and a few scattered items. The lines are loose and quick, almost like hurried notes. The artist left out details like faces or clear shapes, focusing instead on the mood of the woods. This style makes it feel more like a memory than a perfect picture. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
