Miller is a famous French writer in the19th century. Born in a peasant family, he studied painting with others when he was young.

Gradually, he got tired of this art, but paintings with other themes could not be sold. Therefore, he once fell into the abyss of poverty, distress and despair. Forced by life, he had to leave Paris to live in the country.

He endured all difficulties and persisted in his creation, resulting in many famous works, such as The Sower.
