In the Forest

1851

Karl Bodmer (Swiss, 1809-1893) figure (wood chopper) drawn by Jean François Millet (French, 1814-1875)

Switzerland

Karl Bodmer, who worked with Millet at Barbizon, asked Millet to collaborate on this work by drawing the figure. Millet's direct contribution to this Lithograph is therefore minimal, but his influence remains evident in Bodmer's handling of landscape.
