La Cigale (The Grasshopper) is a 1865 oil by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Barbizon school work, depicting Young Adult Woman, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting depicts a young woman sitting in a contemplative pose, wearing a red jacket with a white shirt underneath and a dark skirt. Her dark hair is styled with a headband and a flower, and she gazes downward, her hands resting on her lap. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The artist who painted this work is Jean Baptiste Camille Corot.
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.
