"Just look at the subject,"
I said. "Both paintings show hardworking rural folk firmly outlined
against a flat land and sky. Millet helped develop a style called Realism.
Realists thought traditional religious and mythological subjects were a

"I can see that."
I leaned back in
my chair. "Do you want to hear more? I could tell you how the colors, composition, and style also tell me that your painting is a Millet.
Or have I convinced you?" |
