Catalogue Note
La mise en page de ce petit tableau , peint dans les années 1822-1823, évoque l'art d'Achille-Etna Michallon et Jean-Victor Bertin. Le cadrage resserré, le contraste d'ombre et de lumière et le motif du paysage aperçu à travers un portail ou une arcade se retrouvent chez ces deux peintres, dans l'atelier desquels Corot étudia. La simplicité de la composition rappelle l'enseignement de Valenciennes, qui conseillait aux jeunes paysagistes de travailler en plein air et de peindre sur le motif.
