Abstract (en)

Recent technical examination of Millet's ca.1850-1851 Wood Sawyers (London, Victoria and Albert Museum) has revealed that beneath it lies an earlier painting which can probably be identified with a lost oil sketch symbolizing The Republic. The latter was submitted by Millet to a French state competition in 1848. Appended technical report.
