Look at thehand of the woman in "The Potato Planters" (Pl. 5), or at those of theman in the same picture, and see how little detail there is in them, yethow surely the master's sovereign draughtsmanship has made you feeltheir actual structure and function! And how inevitably the garments, with their few and simple folds, mould and accent the figures beneaththem, "becoming, as it were, a part of the body and expressing, evenmore than the nude, the larger and simpler forms of nature"! Howexplicit...ly the action of the bodies is registered, how perfectly theamount of effort apparent is proportioned to the end to be attained! Onecan feel, to an ounce, it seems, the strain upon the muscles implied bythat hoe-full of earth. Or look at the easier attitude of "TheGrafter" (Pl. 6), engaged upon his gentler task, and at the monumentalsilhouette of the wife, standing there, babe in arms, a type of eternalmotherhood and of the fruitfulness to come. [Illustration: Plate 6. --Millet. "The Grafter. "In the collection of William Rockefeller.
