"Zingara with a Tambourine" is a painting by the French landscape and portrait painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875). Corot, a pivotal figure in landscape painting, is also considered a forerunner of the Impressionist movement. Although he is primarily known for his mastery in depicting the natural landscape, Corot also painted a number of figure studies and portraits, among which "Zingara with a Tambourine" is included.

The painting features a young woman, referred to as a 'Zingara', which is the Italian term for a gypsy or Romani woman. She is depicted holding a tambourine, which is a common attribute associated with the romanticized perception of Romani people during the 19th century as nomadic, musical, and free-spirited. The subject's attire and the inclusion of the tambourine suggest a sense of exoticism and bohemian lifestyle, themes that were popular among artists and the public during Corot's time.

"Zingara with a Tambourine" is characteristic of Corot's work during his mature period, where he often blended portraiture with a landscape setting, merging his interest in the human figure with his love for the natural environment. The painting is noted for its subtle interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of Corot's technique, as well as its loose brushwork that hints at the later developments of Impressionism.

The work is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural implications, reflecting the 19th-century European fascination with the 'other' and the romanticized notions of the lives of people on the fringes of society. As with many of Corot's paintings, "Zingara with a Tambourine" is appreciated for its lyrical and poetic approach to the subject matter, which allows the viewer to engage with the painting on both an emotional and visual level.

The painting is part of Corot's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation as a leading figure in the Barbizon school, a group of artists who advocated for plein air painting and a more realistic portrayal of nature. "Zingara with a Tambourine" exemplifies Corot's influence on the generations of artists that followed and his role in the transition from Neoclassicism and Romanticism to Impressionism and modern art.
