About the Item
The Angelus at Sunset, After Millet, Antique European Chromolithograph
This atmospheric late 19th-century European chromolithograph presents a devotional rural scene inspired by Jean-François Millet’s celebrated masterpiece “The Angelus.” Two peasants stand still at dusk in an open field, bowing their heads in prayer at the sound of the distant church bell. Their simple tools rest beside them as the warm pink and gold light of sunset spreads across the ploughed land and wide horizon.
The composition powerfully conveys humility, faith, and the rhythm of rural life. The male figure stands with hat lowered in reverence, while the woman clasps her hands before her chest in quiet devotion. At their feet rests a basket of gathered produce, and behind them a cart loaded with sacks anchors the scene in daily agricultural labor. The distant silhouette of a village church with its spire reinforces the spiritual pause woven into everyday work.
The chromolithographic technique captures rich tonal depth, especially in the glowing sky and the textured surface of the soil. Subtle gradations of ochre, muted green, and rose tones build a contemplative atmosphere that transitions from labor into prayer. The figures’ modest clothing and restrained gestures emphasize realism and emotional stillness rather than theatrical drama.
Prints after Millet’s rural devotional imagery became deeply popular across Europe for their moral symbolism and quiet emotional power. Today these works are especially sought after by collectors of social realism, pastoral art, and historic European genre scenes, as well as interior designers seeking warmth, meaning, and timeless calm.
Condition report: Very good antique condition. Strong, unfaded colors with only light, even age toning in the margins. Minor edge handling and soft corner wear consistent with age. No major tears, water damage, or restoration observed. Image area remains clean and visually strong.
Framing tips: This chromolithograph frames beautifully in walnut, dark oak, or ebonized wood to enhance the evening tones. A warm ivory or light parchment mat complements the sunset sky and earth tones. Also suitable for a thin antique gilt frame for a classic European look.
Technique: Chromolithograph
Maker: After Jean-François Millet, European press, printed in Germany, circa 1890–1900

"Plowing at Sunrise, " Art Deco Paean to the Black Farmer, 1930s
By Willis Lohse
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully conceived, dramatically set and very finely painted, this gouache and ink painting by Willis R. Lohse is a paean to the hard work and nobility of the black farmer in America, hat in hand as he marvels at the beauty of the day. Full of lovely colors -- lemon yellow, cerulean and fresh green -- Lohse captures a lovely moment where the farmer pauses to look upward, amidst sprays of birch trees and expanses of rolling fields. Lohse was a German-American artist who is best known for his illustrations for fiction and fantasy books published between the 1920s and 1950s, including "The Boy Who Found the King," "Raff, the Jungle Bird...
