Description

In The Goose Girl, a girl stands among geese, with a tree trunk rising at the right and wooded ground around her. The birds gather in the foreground near her small figure. Their company makes the scene feel inhabited on an intimate scale, joining the girl’s presence to the ordinary animal life associated with her rural occupation.

Made in drypoint, the work belongs to a printed medium in which the artist’s marks carry a direct, tactile character. Its rural subject makes room for an encounter with modest life, where a person and the animals associated with her can sustain attention together. The image’s appeal lies in that close connection, giving an everyday occupation a particular human presence. Millet allows the task to frame the figure without making the person disappear entirely into the work she performs.
