[Illustration: MILLET'S COAT OF ARMS.

the little drawings which Millet was accustomed to make for

called his "_armes parlantes_."]
[Illustration: PORTRAIT OF JEAN FRANCOIS MILLET, DRAWN BY HIMSELF.
Reproduced by permission of Braun, Clement & Co. Of this portrait, drawn
in 1847, Sensier, in his "Life" of Millet, says: "It is in crayon, and
life-sized. The head is melancholy, like that of Albert Duerer; the
profound regard is filled with intelligence and goodness."]

subject of his art, have nevertheless avoided the personal equation as
