About the piece

The composition focuses on three women performing the arduous task of gathering stray stalks of wheat, set against a vast, hazy landscape that emphasizes their connection to the land. With its soft light and rich, muted palette, this iconic work brings a sense of grounded history and quiet contemplation to any space.
