A Breton Gleaner 1886

"A Breton Gleaner" is a 1886 pastel drawing by Paul Gauguin, depicting a woman bent over in a simple, blue and green dress. The work showcases Gauguin's interest in the everyday lives of the working class, specifically in the region of Brittany, France. This artwork is considered a seminal work in his artistic exploration of the simplified forms and expressive colors that would define his later Symbolist and Post-Impressionist style.
