"Young Women of Sparta" (or "Gypsy Reclining") is a painting by the French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created approximately between 1868 and 1870. Corot, known for his pivotal role in landscape painting and his influence on the Impressionist movement, often infused his works with a sense of poetic realism and a harmonious balance between figure and nature. This painting diverges from his typical landscapes, focusing instead on the depiction of figures, which is less common in his oeuvre.

The artwork illustrates a scene of leisure and repose, featuring young Spartan women or possibly a reclining gypsy woman, as suggested by the alternative title. The subject matter reflects Corot's interest in classical themes and the idealization of ancient cultures, which was prevalent among artists of the 19th century. The painting's composition, use of light, and brushwork exhibit Corot's mature style, characterized by a delicate interplay of light and shadow and a soft, almost ethereal treatment of form.

"Young Women of Sparta" is notable for its serene atmosphere and the lyrical quality that Corot imparts to the figures, which seem to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The work captures the idyllic and timeless essence that is emblematic of Corot's later period, where the boundaries between reality and the artist's imagination become increasingly fluid.

As with many of Corot's figure paintings, "Young Women of Sparta" may not have been as widely recognized as his landscapes during his lifetime. However, it contributes to the broader understanding of Corot's artistic range and his exploration of historical and mythological subjects. The painting is an example of how Corot's work laid the groundwork for future generations of artists, bridging the gap between the Neoclassical tradition and the burgeoning Impressionist movement that would come to define the late 19th century.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the diverse talents of one of France's most revered landscape painters.
