"La Cardeuse (Delteil 15)" is an etching created by the renowned French artist Jean-François Millet, who is celebrated for his depictions of rural life and the peasantry. Millet, born in 1814 and active during the 19th century, was a pivotal figure in the Realist movement, which sought to portray everyday life with honesty and without idealization. This particular work, "La Cardeuse," which translates to "The Wool Carder," exemplifies Millet's focus on the dignity and labor of the rural working class.

The etching depicts a woman engaged in the labor-intensive process of carding wool, a task that involves disentangling and cleaning wool fibers to prepare them for spinning. This subject matter is consistent with Millet's broader oeuvre, which often highlighted the toil and resilience of peasant women. The composition of "La Cardeuse" is marked by its simplicity and directness, with the central figure rendered in a manner that emphasizes her strength and concentration. The detailed lines and textures in the etching capture both the physicality of the work and the quiet dignity of the wool carder.

Millet's technique in this etching is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the effective use of light and shadow to create depth and texture. The etching is part of a series of works by Millet that were cataloged by the art historian Loys Delteil, hence the designation "Delteil 15." This cataloging has helped art historians and collectors to systematically study and appreciate Millet's contributions to printmaking.

"La Cardeuse" not only reflects Millet's artistic skill but also his deep empathy for the rural poor, making it a significant piece within his body of work. The etching remains an important example of 19th-century French art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value.
