JEAN FRANÇOIS MILLET

A COLLECTION OF FIFTEEN PICTURES
AND A PORTRAIT OF THE PAINTER
WITH INTRODUCTION AND
INTERPRETATION

BY

ESTELLE M. HURLL


1900

PREFACE


In making a selection of Millet's pictures, devoted as they areto the single theme of French peasant life, variety of subject canbe obtained only by showing as many phases of that life aspossible. Our illustrations therefore represent both men and womenworking separately in the tasks peculiar to each, and workingtogether in the labors shared between them. There are in addition afew pictures of child life.

The selections include a study of the field, the dooryard, andthe home interior, and range from the happiest to the most sombresubjects. They show also considerable variety in artistic motiveand composition, and taken together fairly represent the scope ofMillet's work.
