EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Roadworkers Lunch ca 1850-52" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of labor and camaraderie. Created by the talented artist Jean Francois Millet, a prominent figure of the Barbizon school, this conte crayon drawing captures the essence of hardworking individuals taking a well-deserved break. The image showcases a group of roadworkers gathered around their makeshift lunch spot. With their tools resting beside them, these men pause from their arduous task to enjoy some respite and nourishment. The artist's skilled hand brings out every detail - from the worn-out clothes on their backs to the expressions etched on their faces, revealing both exhaustion and determination. Millet's use of heightened white gouache adds depth and texture to the composition, emphasizing light falling upon each character with delicate precision. The choice of laid paper further enhances the rustic atmosphere depicted in this artwork. Measuring at approximately 10 7/8 x 8 7/8 inches (27.6 x 22.5 cm), this print transports us into an era where manual labor was essential for progress. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, there is always room for unity and shared moments of solace. Artokoloro has masterfully reproduced this timeless masterpiece from Liszt Collection, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Millet's skillful portrayal of everyday life in rural France during the mid-19th century.
