"The Gleaner" is an oil painting by French artist Georges Laugée (1853–1937), known for his rural and peasant scenes that often depict the agricultural life of his time. Laugée, a student of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a follower of the naturalist movement, was deeply influenced by the works of Jean-François Millet, which is evident in his portrayal of farm workers and rural landscapes.

"The Gleaner" exemplifies Laugée's commitment to representing the dignity and toil of peasant life. The painting portrays a solitary female figure in the act of gleaning—collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested. This subject was popular among naturalist painters, as it symbolized the struggle and perseverance of the lower classes.

Laugée's treatment of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, imbues the scene with a sense of realism and empathy. The gleaner is depicted with a sense of nobility and grace, which is characteristic of Laugée's approach to his subjects. The earthy tones and the play of light across the figure and the field highlight the connection between the peasants and the land they cultivate.

The painting is a testament to Laugée's skill in capturing the essence of rural life and his ability to convey the human condition through art. "The Gleaner" remains an important work within Laugée's oeuvre and contributes to the broader genre of social realism in the late 19th century. It continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its poignant social commentary on the lives of the rural poor in France during this period.
