The drawings of Jean François Millet : with fifty facsimile reproductions of the master's work
A 1906 London reproduction of drawings by the French painter Jean François Millet, published by William Heinemann with text by Léonce Bénédite and printed by the Ballantyne Press. Its facsimile plates show Millet's working sketches of peasant figures in charcoal and chalk, with several pages rotated sideways. A designer might take loose, economical line work, tonal shading built from crossed strokes, and the way single figures are placed against bare grounds.
