The Gleaners 

"The Gleaners," a work by Jean-François Millet, depicts three women, bent over in a field, gathering leftover grain after the harvest. The scene, rendered in a realistic and somber style, captures the harsh realities of peasant life in 19th-century France. The figures, almost lost in the vast landscape, highlight the poverty and toil endured by rural laborers. The work, often praised for its social commentary, emphasizes the dignity of labor and the harsh conditions faced by the poor.
