Shepherdess Seated on a Rock
''Shepherdess Seated on a Rock'' or ''The Knitter'' or ''Shepherdess Knitting'' is an 1856 oil on wood painting by Jean-François Millet, who was a leader of the Barbizon school, which emphasized realism. Millet is noted for his scenes of peasant farmers, and for reinvogorating the genre of landscape painting. The shepherdess in this painting is wearing the linen hood and white cloak that were typical of the peasant women in communities of north-central France such as Barbizon.〔Ady, Julia. (''Jean Franc̦ois Millet: His Life and Letters'' ), p. 166 (Swan Sonnenschein, 1910).〕
This painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is virtually identical to another at the Cincinnati Art Museum.〔(''Shepherdess Seated on a Rock'' ) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.〕 The reason for this duplication is that Millet was painting the first one when he received an offer for it, but he had already promised the painting to someone else so he painted another.〔 This was the only time that Millet ever duplicated one of his paintings.〔Tomson, Arthur. (''Jean-François Millet and the Barbizon School'' ), p. 47 (1905).〕 There are many other similar paintings by Millet depicting a shepherdess who is knitting, though they are not duplicates.〔(''The Knitting Shepherdess'' ), Saint Louis Art Museum (via Wikimedia Commons).〕〔(''Shepherdess Knitting, outside the Village of Barbizon'' ), Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.〕〔(''A Knitter or a Seated Shepherdess Knitting, 1858-60'' ), Louvre, Paris, France (via PBS).〕〔(''Shepherdess with her Flock'' ), Musee d'Orsay, Paris, France.〕〔(''Young Girl Guarding Her Sheep'' ), Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts.〕
Prior to painting these two duplicates, Millet composed a preparatory drawing, which is now located at the National Gallery of Scotland.〔(''A Shepherdess'' ), National Gallery of Scotland.〕 According to that gallery, "Millet’s paintings of shepherdesses were greatly admired, and inspired Vincent van Gogh to pay homage to Millet in his own work."〔
