This loomed textile, likely initially a runner, portrays various scenes from the renowned French Barbizon painter Jean Francois Millet's paintings—The Angelus and The Gleaners. It features a French couple in prayer. Millet's works, particularly The Angelus and Gleaners, were among the most popular engravings of the 19th century and adorned many American homes, endearing these subjects, particularly to rural individuals. The widespread popularity of these paintings contributed to the reverence for the Catholic devotion of Angelus. The textile is in good condition, aside from a small tear in the upper left corner and fragility in the top right corner. It measures 56 inches by 18.5 inches (142 cm x 47 cm).
