    Millet was one of the founders of the Barbizon school in rural France. His art is best remembered today for his depictions of peasant farmers, which were a part of the Realism art movement.

    Collated, complete.

    With a biographical essay on Millet by William Ernest Henley. 

    One page of adverts to the rear.
