You see a serene lake scene with a woman pulling herself out of the water. The painting is interesting because it's not a direct copy of the real place. Corot painted it from memory, so he changed the landscape to make it more beautiful. Check out the work of Jean Baptiste Camille Corot to see more of his landscape paintings.
