About the piece
Painted in 1853, this work by Jean-François Millet captures the quiet dignity of rural life in the French countryside. A precursor to his most famous composition, this scene depicts three women gleaning the remnants of a summer harvest against a backdrop of towering haystacks and a soft, atmospheric sky, epitomizing the Barbizon school's focus on naturalist subjects.
