# The Woman with the Pearl [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [COROT, Jean-Baptiste Camille]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 70 x 55 cm ## Commentary This picture is one of the depersonalised figures that Corot painted in the third part of his career. The position and the expression of the sitter, Berthe Goldschmidt, posing in an Italian dress that Corot had brought back with him, is almost a pastiche of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The small leaf standing out on the young girl's brow, formerly thought to be a pearl, gave the picture its title. ## Related artworks - [Agostina]() - [Corot's Studio]() - [Goat-herds]() - [Haydée, Young Woman in Greek Dress]() - [In a Park]() - [Lady in Blue]() - [Landscape near Riva on Lake Garda]() - [Mill at Saint-Nicolas-les-Arras]() - [Morning at Beauvais]() - [Peasant Woman Pasturing a Cow by the Edge of a Forest]() - [Peasants under the Trees at Dawn]() - [Poetry]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
