Description
A beautiful drawing by the Norman painter Jean-Baptiste Millet (1830-1906). Through this work, with its simple composition and executed exclusively with hatching, Millet perfectly expresses the shadows and light surrounding this woman, seated in a corner of her home. Jean-Baptiste Millet was a French painter, sculptor, and engraver from the second half of the 19th century, known for his naturalist-inspired landscapes and rural scenes. He was the younger brother of the painter Jean-François Millet (1814-1875), famous for his oil paintings, particularly "The Gleaners" and "The Angelus." Jean-Baptiste Millet's work follows in the tradition of realism, with a particular focus on nature, country life, and luminous atmospheres. Appreciated for his masterful touch and sense of composition, he remains present in the antique art market and in private collections. A handwritten dedication is present on the reverse. It appears to be by Jean-François Millet. "Hameau de Gruchy" The drawing itself measures 11 by 8 inches.
