Sibylle is a 19th-century painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Done in oil on canvas, the painting portrays a model holding a red rose. The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.
Description
The painting - better described as a portrait - was painting by Corot circa 1870. The work shares stylistic elements with Portrait of Bindo Altoviti, a portrait that was formerly considered to be a self portrait by Raphael, and the Met's description of Sibylle describes the painting as the "height" of Corot's attempts to replicate Raphael's style.[1]
While the title of the painting implies the subject is a Sibyl,[2] others have disputed this.[3]
The painting was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1929 as part of the bequest of Louisine Havemeyer.[1]
