Peasant Children at Goose Pond c. 1865 - 1868

"Peasant Children at Goose Pond" is a pastel drawing by Jean-François Millet, known for his depictions of rural life. Created between 1865 and 1868, the artwork captures a serene scene of two children by a pond, observing a flock of geese. The soft pastel tones create a peaceful atmosphere, highlighting the simplicity of rural life and the beauty of nature. The scene is reminiscent of Millet's other works, such as "The Gleaners" and "The Angelus," that celebrated the dignity of labor and the lives of ordinary people.
