1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Peasant Girl Feeding Chickens is a 1804 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a long dress and headscarf, walking while holding a basket. Near her feet, two chickens peck at the ground. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist focused on simple, everyday life—no fancy clothes or grand settings. This style was common in Romanticism, which often showed real people doing real things.
