"Faggot Carriers" (French: "Porteuses de fagots") is a painting by the French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in the mid-19th century. Millet, who was a key figure in the Barbizon school of painters, is renowned for his depictions of peasant life and rural landscapes. This painting continues his exploration of the theme of rural labor, a subject that he approached with both realism and empathy.

The artwork portrays peasant women carrying bundles of sticks or faggots, a task that was common in the rural economy of the time. These bundles were typically used for fuel or in various agricultural processes. Millet's focus on such a scene reflects his interest in the dignity of labor and the harsh realities faced by the rural working class. The painting is characterized by its subdued color palette and the use of light to emphasize the physical burden and the stoic endurance of the women.

"Faggot Carriers" is significant as it exemplifies Millet's contribution to the social realism movement, which sought to represent the lives of the poor and the working class with honesty and without romanticization. The painting invites viewers to consider the social and economic conditions of the period, as well as the role of women in the rural workforce.

As with many of Millet's works, "Faggot Carriers" is appreciated for its technical qualities as well as its social commentary. The artist's ability to convey texture, weight, and the movement of the figures, as well as his sensitive portrayal of the subjects, make the painting a poignant study of human endurance in the face of hardship.

The painting is part of Millet's broader legacy, which influenced later artists, including the Impressionists and the Realists, who were drawn to his treatment of everyday life and his compassionate representation of the peasantry. "Faggot Carriers" remains an important work within Millet's oeuvre, reflecting the themes and techniques that define his artistic vision.
