About the piece
Jean-François Millet’s iconic 1850 masterpiece captures the dignity of rural labor through its dynamic central figure. Striding across a hillside under a somber, moody sky, the sower is rendered in deep earth tones, while a distant team of oxen and a plowman work against a flickering horizon of warm light.
