About Artwork: (About 1858) "This is the second in the series The Four Times of Day that Corot painted for his friend, fellow artist Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps. In this panel, the light is brighter than in the previous panel, Morning, and fills the picture. There is an overall lightening of tone and a wider range of colours. The application of the paint is still sketchy, and you can see traces of the paintbrush’s bristle in several places. Nearest to us, a young man in a white shirt and red hat rests his left foot upon a rock as he adjusts his shoe. Unlike the figure in Morning, we can see his face (in profile) and there is greater detail to his clothing. Lit from above, he barely casts a shadow, as the sun is high in the sky. Further back, a man with a walking stick and a woman wearing a white hat are walking along the path, although their direction of travel is unclear." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
