Woman Meditating, after 1868. Copy after Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (French, 1796–1875). Oil on fabric; unframed: 59.4 x 42.9 cm (23 3/8 x 16 7/8 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of the Hanna Fund 1949.189 Scholars speculate that Camille Corot's model for this painting was Emma Dobigny, the frail young girl who posed for the two versions of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes's painting Hope of 1872 (Musée du Louvre, Paris; Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore).
This painting, acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1949, as a work by Corot, proved to be a copy when the signed original reappeared at a public auction in New York in 1981.
