Description
By Désiré François Millet, Paris, ca. 1850-55. A fine and enigmatic portrait of a young girl in white, kneeling and reading a Bible at a makeshift studio altar, topped by a statue of an angel and young child. Typical of Millet's use of a dark background to emphasize the drama of the figure. Mat measures 8 ¼" X 6 ¾"; the plate appears to measure 7" X 5 ¼".
