Title:	A Digger
Engraver:	Belin-Dollet, Georges (France, 1839 - 1903)
Designer:	Millet, Jean Francois (Gruchy, 1814 - Barbizon, 1875)
Date:	c. 1890
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Georges C. Belin-Dollet lived and worked primarily in Paris. There, he was a regular exhibitor with the Artistes Francais. His etchings after Millet were regularly shown in France, England and, particularly, the United States. Some of Georges Belin-Dollet's etchings, in fact, were published by the major New York City printseller and publisher, Knoedler. This may be the case with this large and impressive etching entitled, "A Digger", which owes its origin to a perparatory drawing of Millet depicting only the head of this subject. The figure of "A Digger", as well as the background, is created by Belin-Dolet.
	Jean Francois Millet (1814-1875) was undoubtedly one of France's finest nineteenth century masters. His art was a primary influence upon such artists as Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat and Vincent van Gogh. Several artists, in fact, dedicated most of their artistic oeuvre to a re-examination of Millet's artistic techniques. The master's grandson, Jean Charles Millet, etched scenes and studies based upon Millet's designs in the early twentieth century. In the latter nineteenth century Georges Belin-Dollet dedicated much of his art to creating etchings after Millet's drawings and paintings.
