EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sketches of Three Subjects" by Jean Francois Millet, dates back to the mid-19th century and is a prime example of the Barbizon School's artistic movement. Millet, a prominent French painter and printmaker, is renowned for his depictions of rural life and daily chores. This etching in drypoint and roulette and foul biting on ivory laid china paper showcases three individuals engaged in their domestic tasks. The first figure, a woman, is seated at the foreground, her back facing the viewer as she focuses intently on her chore. Her simple, rustic attire and the basket of fruits next to her suggest a rural setting. The second figure, a man, is depicted in profile, leaning against a fence and looking off into the distance. His relaxed posture and the pipe clenched between his teeth convey a sense of calm and contemplation. The third figure, a child, is shown in profile as well, peering curiously over the shoulder of the woman. The innocence and curiosity in the child's expression add a touch of warmth and humanity to the composition. Millet's masterful use of black and white contrasts and his ability to capture the essence of rural life make this print a valuable addition to any art collection. This print is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and insight into the daily lives of people in the 19th century.
