JEAN FRANÇOIS MILLET. Women Carrying Faggots

JEAN FRANÇOIS MILLET. Women Carrying Faggots. Artist: Jean-François Millet (French, Gruchy 1814-1875 Barbizon). Dimensions: 13 1/2 x 10 7/8 in.  (34.3 x 27.6 cm). Date: ca. 1858.
This extraordinary drawing in charcoal and gouache was once in the collection of the Dutch landscape painter Hendrick Mesdag (1831-1915), a collector of French artists of the Barbizon School.  Millet was fascinated by the sight of peasants gathering, cutting, binding, and carrying faggots in the forest of Fontainebleau, his native landscape for much of his life.  The Lehman sheet may relate to a painting of the same title now in the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg.
