The Sower

Jean-François Millet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a person in mid-stride. The individual is depicted with their left foot forward, right arm extended to the side, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The figure is dressed in loose-fitting clothes, including a jacket or shirt and pants, and appears to be carrying a bag over the shoulder with the left hand. The sketch is done on blue-toned paper with a simple background.
