About the Item
Harvest Workers in the Field, After Millet, Antique European Chromolithograph
This powerful late 19th-century European chromolithograph depicts a rural harvesting scene inspired by the iconic composition made famous by Jean-François Millet. Three peasant women bend low across a vast golden wheat field, gathering leftover stalks after the main harvest has been completed. In the distance, haystacks, carts, and farm workers stretch across the horizon beneath a wide open sky, emphasizing both the physical labor and the quiet dignity of rural life.
The composition captures the timeless rhythm of agricultural labor and the humility of the working class. Each figure is portrayed with deliberate realism: worn clothing, bent postures, and hands reaching methodically into the stubble. The earth-toned palette of ochres, browns, and muted blues enhances the atmosphere of late summer exhaustion and endurance. The distant village and wagons add depth and narrative continuity to the scene.
Executed in refined chromolithography, the print displays beautifully layered color transitions, subtle modeling in the figures, and atmospheric perspective across the open landscape. The texture of the wheat field, the fabric folds of the clothing, and the distant haze of the horizon demonstrate the advanced multi-stone printing techniques characteristic of high-quality European chromolithographs of this period.
Images after Millet were widely produced for the European and American art markets as symbols of social realism, labor, humility, and connection to the land. Today these agricultural genre scenes are highly sought after for both traditional and modern interiors, valued for their calm presence and timeless human narrative.
Condition report: Very good overall condition. Strong original colors with only light age-related toning visible primarily in the margins. Minor edge wear consistent with age. No major tears, water damage, or losses observed. Image area remains clean and well preserved.
Framing tips: This print displays beautifully in a natural oak, walnut, or light maple frame to complement the rural tones. A soft beige, flax, or warm ivory mat enhances the golden field without overpowering the composition. Also works well in a dark bronze or restrained gilt frame for more formal interiors.
Technique: Chromolithograph
Maker: After Jean-François Millet, European press, printed in Germany, circa 1890–1900
