Description
This painting needs to be verified as an actual Millet painting through provenance etc.

This painting was partially misidentified at the most recent sale as Francis Daris Millet; though the accepted birth and death dates are listed  (American, 1846-1912)  The title is given as “New England Countryside,” but that title is not identified as provided with provenance or was simply a description of the assumed scene.  It is listed as oil on canvas, and as signed lower right, with a name plaque lower center.  However the signature is unreadable in the catalog photo.
