About the piece

Painted in 1841, this portrait by Jean-François Millet depicts Madame Frigot with quiet dignity. The work showcases Millet's early mastery of light and texture, particularly in the delicate rendering of the lace collar and the soft, contemplative expression of the sitter against a moody, atmospheric backdrop.
