Description

Spinner from the Auvergne shows a woman standing with a distaff in a woodcut after Millet, with fields extending behind her. Her full-length figure gives the spinning subject an upright presence, connecting the tool and the worker within a relatively open landscape. The title identifies a spinner from the Auvergne without requiring a name or an invented personal history to make the figure substantial.

This nineteenth-century woodcut follows a design by Jean-François Millet, rather than being an autograph print attributed directly to his hand. The image’s interest lies in making patient preparation visible, giving a kind of ordinary work enduring attention through its translation into a graphic medium.
