The Banks of the Seine at Conflans, ca. 1865–70, Oil on canvas, 18 1/4 x 21 7/8 in. (46.4 x 55.6 cm), Paintings, Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796–1875 Paris), In 1868, about the time this work was painted, the aspiring artist Odilon Redon noted Corot’s advice 'to place an unknown next to a known' in his compositions. That approach to picture-making is evident in this scene of workers, which has a ring of familiarity although the precise labor depicted resists identification
