This drawing, "Daphnis and Chloé", by the French artist Jean-François Millet depicts a pastoral scene with a young couple, Daphnis and Chloé, in a lush, verdant forest. The sketch is a study for a larger work and shows Millet's distinct style, focusing on the details of the natural world and the simple lives of rural people. It is known that Millet had a fascination with the Greek novel, "Daphnis and Chloé", which may have inspired his artistic exploration of pastoral themes. The drawing uses soft lines and subtle shading to create a sense of intimacy and emotion, offering a glimpse into Millet's artistic process.
