"Le Nourrisson," also known as "L'enfant Malade" (The Sick Child), is a poignant painting by the French artist Jean-François Millet, created circa 1848. Millet, renowned for his depictions of peasant life, often portrayed the hardships and tender moments within the rural communities of the 19th century. This artwork diverges from his more recognized scenes of agricultural labor, offering a deeply intimate glimpse into the vulnerability of family life.

The painting captures a quiet yet emotionally charged moment as a mother cradles her ailing infant. The subdued palette and the soft, diffused lighting focus the viewer's attention on the figures, emphasizing the bond between the parent and child. Millet's sensitive treatment of the subject matter reflects his concern with the human condition and the universality of parental love and anxiety in the face of a child's illness.

"Le Nourrisson" is a testament to Millet's skill in rendering the textures of fabric and the warmth of human skin, as well as his ability to convey profound emotion through simple, everyday scenes. The work is emblematic of the Realist movement, of which Millet was a key figure, as it eschews idealization in favor of an honest representation of life's struggles.

While "Le Nourrisson" may not be as widely recognized as Millet's depictions of peasant toil, such as "The Gleaners" or "The Angelus," it nonetheless offers a significant insight into the artist's range and compassion. The painting remains an important piece within Millet's oeuvre, reflecting the social concerns and artistic sensibilities of its time.
