Portrait of a Child

Camille Corot

ca. 1835 · Oil on wood · European Paintings

This work was once thought to be a portrait of the painter Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899) as a child, but it seems to represent a boy. Corot's portraits were limited to friends and members of his family, but thus far the figure remains unidentified.
