Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875):
Le Petit Chaville, near Ville-d'Avray
A642; oil on canvas; 24.8 x 34 cm.
Stamped: VENTE COROT.
Prov: Gustave Tempelaere.
Bequeathed by Frank Hindley Smith, 1939; WA1940.1.24.
Robaut 1905, no. 16; Tinterow et al. 1996, no. 3.
Dating from about 1823, this is one of the artist's earliest surviving works, painted out-of-doors in the village of Chaville near Ville d'Avray where Corot's parents had bought a house in 1817. The neat touches of paint, light colour and carefully structured view owe something to the example of Corot's master, Jean-Victor Bertin.
