A small 9x12 oil on canvas view from below the Gowanus Expressway on Hamilton Avenue near Bush Street in Brooklyn, New York.
Another story from the Corot catalog that I'm reading: when in 1846 Corot received the Legion of Honor, "his father wondered whether the allowance given his son --then aged fifty--should be increased." Two other 19th century artists who depended upon a family allowance to survive: Cezanne and Van Gogh.
