Post lot text

JEAN-FRANÇOIS MILLET, MOTHER AND CHILD WITH A COW, GRAPHITE, PEN AND BROWN INK

The present drawing can be dated to the 1850s, the period of Millet’s ‘rustic style’, according to Chantal Georgel (Millet, Paris, 2014, pp. 257-261). It is part of a series of works representing a woman grazing her cow, the most characteristic of which was exhibited at the Salon of 1859 (Musée de l’Ain, Bourg-en-Bresse; see Georgel, op. cit., p. 245). In 1855, the critic and poet Théophile Gaultier wrote that Millet ‘understands the intimate poetry of the fields: he loves the peasants he represents, and in their resigned figures expresses his sympathy for them’ (G. Lacambre and L. Lepoittevin, Jean-François Millet. Au-delà de l’Angélus, Paris, 2002, p. 257).
