"A Woman Gathering Faggots at Ville-d'Avray" (circa 1871) is an evocative painting by the French landscape artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Known for his pivotal role in landscape painting, Corot is often considered a bridge between the neoclassical tradition and the Impressionist movement that would later flourish in France. This particular work is a testament to Corot's mature style, where he combines his keen observation of nature with a poetic sensibility.

The painting depicts a serene natural scene at Ville-d'Avray, a suburban area west of Paris that Corot frequented for inspiration. It portrays a woman, a peasant by her attire, in the act of gathering faggots—bundles of sticks or twigs bound together and used as fuel. The figure is integrated harmoniously into the landscape, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, a theme often explored in Corot's work.

Measuring approximately 59.7 cm x 73.7 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium Corot mastered to convey the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The artist's brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the transient effects of light with a muted palette that evokes a sense of tranquility and timelessness. The background is typical of Corot's landscapes, featuring a delicate balance between the sky and the foliage, with a soft diffusion of light that creates a sense of depth and atmosphere.

"A Woman Gathering Faggots at Ville-d'Avray" is not only a fine example of Corot's landscape oeuvre but also reflects the social realities of rural France in the 19th century, where the peasantry was a common subject in art. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and its ability to convey a moment of everyday life with dignity and beauty.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, this painting continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the development of landscape painting and its influence on the generations of artists that followed. It remains a significant work within the oeuvre of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and is featured in various art historical discussions and exhibitions concerning French landscape art of the 19th century.
