"The Man with a Hoe", by Jean-François Millet, is a poignant depiction of a peasant farmer. The painting showcases the artist's interest in portraying the lives of working-class people, a common theme in the Realism art movement of the 19th century. The figure's stooped posture and weathered features convey a sense of weariness and hardship, highlighting the difficult conditions faced by rural laborers in Millet's time.
