The Letter, ca. 1865, Oil on wood, 21 1/2 x 14 1/4 in. (54.6 x 36.2 cm), Paintings, Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796–1875 Paris), 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
