"Woman with a Rake" is an oil painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1856-57. The painting is a prime example of Millet's dedication to depicting peasant life, a theme that dominated much of his work during the 19th century. It is part of a series of works in which Millet sought to honor the dignity and toil of rural laborers, a subject that was central to the Realist movement in art.

The painting portrays a solitary female figure in a rural setting, standing with a rake in her hands, a common agricultural tool used for gathering hay or leaves. The woman's pose is both static and dynamic; she appears to be taking a momentary pause from her labor, yet her stance suggests readiness to resume her work. Millet's use of earthy tones and the play of light and shadow on the woman's clothing and the surrounding landscape contribute to the painting's evocative portrayal of rural life.

"Woman with a Rake" measures 89 cm × 71 cm (35 in × 28 in) and is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. The work reflects Millet's social consciousness and his empathy for the working class, themes that resonated with audiences of his time and continue to be appreciated by modern viewers. Through his art, Millet elevated the everyday struggles of the peasantry, challenging the conventional hierarchy of genres in art by placing the lives of common people at the forefront of his canvas.

This painting is often discussed in the context of Millet's other famous works, such as "The Gleaners" (1857) and "The Angelus" (1859), which similarly depict agricultural labor with a sense of nobility and gravitas. "Woman with a Rake" remains a significant work in the history of art for its realistic portrayal of rural life and its influence on later artists, including the Impressionists and the Barbizon School, who were inspired by Millet's technique and subject matter.
