The title of this painting is The Gleaners, created by the French artist Jean-François Millet in 1857.
The painting shows three women gathering leftover grain from a harvested field. Gleaning was a common practice among the rural poor, making the figures a powerful representation of working-class life.
When the painting was exhibited, its enormous scale and focus on laborers challenged traditional ideas about what subjects deserved to be shown in monumental art.
Today, The Gleaners is one of Millet's most celebrated paintings and an important image of rural labor.
