Millet, Snails

Snails

Pencil, 66 x 128 mm. Provenance: artist's estate (Lugt 1460). Verso: more snails plus a human head. The drawing was most assuredly made at or near Gruchy, Millet's birthplace on the Norman coast, as direct descendants of these snails have been observed there in recent years. That would date the drawing to probably before 1837. Framed to show both sides of the sheet.
