"Man with a Hoe" (French: "L'Homme à la houe") is an iconic oil painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1863. The painting is one of Millet's most famous works and a seminal piece of the Realism movement. It depicts a peasant laborer, exhausted and leaning on his hoe, a representation of the hardships and toil faced by the rural working class in 19th-century France.

Millet was known for his depictions of peasant life, and "Man with a Hoe" is a powerful example of his dedication to portraying the dignity and struggles of agricultural workers. The painting's composition, with the peasant taking center stage against a subdued landscape, emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the laborer's work. The figure's hunched posture and the weariness etched on his face evoke a sense of empathy and social concern, which was a driving force behind the Realist movement's focus on the lives of the common people.

The painting's reception was mixed at the time of its unveiling. While some praised Millet for his honest representation of peasant life, others criticized the work for its perceived political message, suggesting it was a commentary on the exploitation of the working class. "Man with a Hoe" has since become an important work in the history of art, influencing later artists and movements, including the Naturalists and the Social Realists.

Today, "Man with a Hoe" is housed in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, and continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its poignant social commentary. The painting remains a touchstone for discussions about the role of art in society and the representation of labor and the working class in visual culture.
