Gathering Apples 

"Gathering Apples" is a painting by Jean-François Millet, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, known for their depictions of rural life. The artwork, characterized by its muted palette and earthy tones, captures a moment of simple labor in the countryside, with three figures engaged in the harvest. Millet's focus on the lives of ordinary people and their relationship with nature, while often romanticized, contributed to the development of Realism in 19th century art.
