Detail of Young Ladies of the Village by Courbet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2011
Young Ladies of the Village
Gustave Courbet
(French, Ornans 1819–1877 La Tour-de-Peilz)
Date: 1851–52
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 76 3/4 x 102 3/4 in. (194.9 x 261 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Gift of Harry Payne Bingham, 1940
Accession Number: 40.175
Description: This painting, which initiated a series of pictures devoted to the lives of women, shows Courbet’s three sisters—Zélie, Juliette, and Zoé—strolling in the Communal, a small valley near his native village of Ornans. One of the girls offers alms to a young cowherd. Courbet had high hopes for the work, but when it was exhibited at the Salon of 1852, critics attacked it as tasteless and clumsy. They reviled the models’ common features and countrified costumes, the "ridiculous" little dog and cattle, and the overall lack of unity, including traditional perspective and scale.
