The Letter. Artist: Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796-1875 Paris). Dimensions: 21 1/2 x 14 1/4 in. (54.6 x 36.2 cm). Date: ca. 1865. This work owes much of its character to the precedent of the eighteenth-century French painter Chardin. Yet the motif and handling also reflect an awareness of seventeenth-century Dutch painting, particularly Vermeer and de Hooch, whose works Corot could have seen during a trip to Holland in 1854. This picture was probably painted around the time Vermeer's art was enjoying a revival of interest. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
