Fifteen pictures by the painter of The Angelus and The Gleaners are discussed one at a time: peasants going to work, a knitting lesson, potato planters, a woman sewing by lamplight, a shepherdess and more. Hurll introduces Millet’s life and shows how each composition captures a moment of rural labour or home life.
