Jean François Millet / A Collection of Fifteen Pictures and a Portrait of the Painter, with Introduction and Interpretation

A compact collection of fifteen plates and a portrait accompanied by interpretive essays that examine Jean François Millet's art and method. The illustrations emphasize rural scenes — field labor, household interiors, and child life — while the introduction analyzes his use of light, compositional unity between figure and landscape, expressive form, and preference for typal realism over prettiness. The volume also supplies a historical directory of the reproduced works, a chronological outline of the artist's life, bibliographic references, and notes on associates and sources to contextualize the selections.
