EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Spinner," was created by the renowned French artist Jean Francois Millet in 1868-69. Millet was a leading figure of the Barbizon School, a artistic movement that celebrated rural life and the beauty of the natural world. In this etching and drypoint on ivory laid paper, Millet masterfully captures the essence of a traditional textile worker in her element. The woman in the image stands proudly, her back facing the viewer, as she focuses intently on her spinning wheel. Her clothing, simple and practical, consists of a long, flowing dress, a hat adorned with a ribbon, and sturdy clogs or carriage boots. The intricate details of her attire, from the folds of her dress to the textures of her footwear, are rendered with remarkable precision and authenticity. The setting of the print is equally evocative of rural life in 19th century France. The woman spins in a serene, open field, surrounded by the rolling hills and verdant landscape. The sense of isolation and concentration is palpable, as the woman lost in her craft becomes one with the natural world around her. "The Spinner" is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage of rural life and traditional crafts, and a testament to Millet's enduring influence on the art world. This rare and beautiful print is a must-have for any art lover, collector, or scholar of 19th century art and fashion.
