''The Gleaners'' (''Des glaneuses'') is an iconic oil painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1857. It is renowned for its portrayal of three peasant women gleaning a field of stray grains of wheat after the harvest. The painting is a masterpiece of the Realist movement, which emerged in the 19th century as a reaction against the Romanticism of the previous era. Millet's work is characterized by its empathetic representation of the rural working class, a subject that was often ignored or romanticized by his contemporaries.

Measuring 83.8 cm × 111.8 cm (approximately 33 in × 44 in), ''The Gleaners'' is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The composition's focus on the laborious task of gleaning, the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested, is a powerful social commentary on the hardships faced by the lower class. Millet's depiction of the gleaners, bent over and absorbed in their work, contrasts sharply with the abundant harvest and the landowners visible in the background, highlighting the disparity between the peasantry and the wealthy landowners.

Upon its exhibition, the painting received mixed reactions, with some critics denouncing its subject matter as a glorification of the lower classes and a challenge to the social hierarchy. However, ''The Gleaners'' has since been recognized as a seminal work in the history of art, influencing a generation of artists and becoming a symbol of the Realist movement's dedication to depicting the everyday lives of ordinary people with dignity and respect. Its enduring legacy is reflected in its continued relevance and the discussions it provokes on social justice and the human condition.
