"The Gleaner's Return" is a painting by John Absolon, a British artist who lived from 1815 to 1895. The artwork portrays five women and girls in a field, likely after a day of harvesting wheat. Their attire and the setting suggest a rural, working-class life. The women carry sheaves of wheat, highlighting the labor and importance of agriculture in their lives. The painting's soft colors and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of warmth and simplicity, making it a classic example of genre painting, depicting everyday scenes and activities.
