James Tissot's "Gleaners, as in Deuteronomy" depicts a group of women gleaning in a field after the harvest, referencing the biblical passage in Deuteronomy that mandates leaving some crops for the poor. The painting, likely created in the late 19th century, captures the women's daily work, their figures silhouetted against the golden field. The scene is both realistic and evocative, emphasizing the dignity of labor and the importance of social justice. The women's postures and the way they hold the sheaves of wheat convey a sense of purpose and quiet determination.
