Description

Signed on lower left with incised F.D.M. initials

The date of this painting is not known, but it is felt that it may be earlier in Millet’s career, when he was a young man traveling and living in Italy. The handling of the paint is not as facile as his latter work and the head seems to be awkwardly placed, like it was added latter.
