Gleaners 

Jean-François Millet's "The Gleaners" depicts three women gathering leftover stalks of grain in a field after the harvest. The scene, which is set against a backdrop of a vast field, emphasizes the arduous work of peasant women. Millet's work was celebrated by Realist artists for its focus on everyday life and the struggles of the working class. This piece is a testament to Millet's skill in capturing the dignity of labor and the beauty of the rural landscape, making it a cornerstone of 19th-century French art.
