This painting is the pride of French.The farmer and his wife are praying while listening the church bell.
It looks like a peaceful scene, but there's a sad story.
They are not came for work.
They are came for bury their baby.
There is a baby in the basket.
That time many people suffered from hunger.
But the baby couldn't stand hunger, so he passed away.
A friend of Millet was shocked to saw about that.
So he advised Millet to substitute baby with something.
Millet paint over the drawing, so there is a potato in the basket.
