I made this color version of a drawing by Jean Francois Millet.

I've tried to apply to the Millet colony, is that the same artist?

Jean-François Millet, (born October 4, 1814, Gruchy, near Gréville, France—died January 20, 1875, Barbizon), French painter renowned for his peasant subjects
 
Peasants are my favourite subject, probably because I relate. I did a study of his painting 'The Gleaners'.
