About the piece
Painted around 1840, this portrait by Jean-François Millet depicts Monsieur Martin with striking psychological depth. The artist uses a dark, atmospheric palette and focused lighting to highlight the subject's features, characteristic of the early French Realist school's interest in the dignity of the individual.
