"Italienne assise jouant de la mandoline" (English: "Seated Italian Woman Playing the Mandolin") is a 19th-century painting by the French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, renowned for his pivotal role in landscape painting and his influence on the Impressionist movement. The work is characteristic of Corot's exploration of figure painting, a genre he approached with the same poetic sensitivity that marked his landscapes.

The painting depicts a serene scene of a young Italian woman, seated and absorbed in playing the mandolin. Corot's use of soft, diffused light and his gentle brushwork lend the painting a harmonious and contemplative atmosphere. The subject's traditional Italian attire and the intimate portrayal reflect Corot's interest in the people and the countryside of Italy—a country he visited on several occasions and which greatly influenced his artistic development.

"Italienne assise jouant de la mandoline" is an example of Corot's later work, where he often combined elements of portraiture with a landscape setting, merging his two primary interests into a cohesive whole. The painting's composition, with its balance of figure and environment, and its subtle interplay of colors, showcase Corot's mastery in conveying mood and place.

This work is held in high regard not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its representation of Corot's unique position between the Neoclassical and Impressionist movements. It encapsulates the transition in art from the formal to the more expressive and spontaneous, a shift that Corot's work so eloquently embodies. While the exact date of creation is not specified, the painting is often dated to the mid-19th century, a period during which Corot produced some of his most acclaimed figure paintings.

"Italienne assise jouant de la mandoline" remains an important piece within Corot's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's versatility and his profound impact on the generations of artists that followed. The painting is frequently studied for its historical significance and its contribution to the evolution of modern art.
