EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean-Francois Millet's iconic painting, "Woman with a Rake" believed to have been created between 1856 and 1857. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 39.7x34.3 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Millet, a renowned French realist painter, skillfully captures the essence of rural labor in this artwork. The image depicts a hardworking peasant woman diligently tending to her daily tasks in the field. With her trusty rake in hand, she embodies resilience and determination as she labors for subsistence. The painting belongs to the Barbizon school of art, which focused on portraying scenes from everyday life with great attention to detail and realism. Millet's work beautifully exemplifies these characteristics by showcasing not only the physicality of labor but also its significance within society. Through his masterful brushstrokes, Millet transports viewers back to mid-19th century France, where farming was an integral part of daily life for many peasants. This evocative piece serves as a poignant reminder of their tireless efforts and unwavering dedication to their craft. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within ordinary moments and the profound impact that individuals like this woman had on shaping our world.
