French landscape painter (1796-1875) identified with the Barbizon School. Rare 8 x 10 albumen photo of Corot posing with his palette, brush in hand, affixed to its original 10.75 x 14.25 mount, signed and inscribed on the mount in ink, "A mon ami Diaz, C. Corot.” In very good to fine condition, with some light scuffing and soiling. Extremely rare in this format, this is the only signed photograph of Corot that we have ever offered; its imposing size makes it all the more desirable.
