EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Olivier de Serres" by Jean Francois Millet, dates back to the 19th century and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France. Millet, a prominent figure in the Barbizon School, expertly captures the essence of rural life and the dignity of labor in this oval-shaped portrait. The subject of the image is Olivier de Serres, a renowned author and agricultural expert of his time. De Serres is depicted as a thoughtful and introspective man, deep in thought as he holds a quill pen, perhaps composing his next literary masterpiece. The intricately detailed textures of his clothing and the subtle shading of his face add depth and dimension to the image. Millet's masterful use of lithotint and lithography techniques is evident in the delicate tonal variations and the crisp, clean lines that define the contours of the subject. This rare and beautiful print, with its timeless appeal and enduring relevance, is a must-see for any art enthusiast, particularly those with an interest in the agricultural and literary traditions of France. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious piece in its extensive collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
