''Les Glaneuses'' (English: ''The Gleaners'') is an iconic oil painting by the French artist Jean-François Millet completed in 1857. The artwork is renowned for its portrayal of three peasant women gleaning a field of stray grains of wheat after the harvest. Millet, who was part of the Barbizon school, is known for his realist works that often depicted the rural classes with dignity and respect. ''Les Glaneuses'' is a prime example of this, as it highlights the labor and plight of the lower class during the 19th century in France.

The painting measures 83.8 cm × 111.8 cm (33 in × 44 in) and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris since 1986. Prior to that, it was part of the collection at the Musée du Louvre. ''Les Glaneuses'' is one of Millet's most famous works and is often cited as a precursor to the socialist realism movement. It has been interpreted as a social critique, reflecting the disparity between the wealth of the landowners and the poverty of the peasants.

Millet's composition is masterful in its simplicity and powerful in its message. The figures of the women are monumental, akin to the classical representations of heroic figures, yet their task is humble and their bent forms suggest toil and endurance. The warm golden tones of the harvested field contrast with the cool blue of the distant horizon, evoking the late summer atmosphere.

The painting's reception at the time of its creation was mixed, with some critics praising its noble representation of the working class, while others saw it as a dangerous glorification of the peasantry. Over time, ''Les Glaneuses'' has become an emblematic work of social realism, and its influence can be seen in the works of many later artists who were inspired by Millet's compassionate and humanistic approach to the subject matter.

''Les Glaneuses'' continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is frequently included in discussions of art history, particularly within the context of the development of realism and its impact on the portrayal of social issues within the visual arts.
