"The Wood Gatherer" is an oil painting by the French artist Jules Bastien-Lepage, created in 1881. This work is one of Bastien-Lepage's most celebrated pieces and exemplifies his approach to naturalism, a style that sought to depict subjects with a sense of realism and truth to everyday life. The painting measures 176 cm by 136.5 cm and is part of the collection at the Milwaukee Art Museum in Wisconsin, United States.

The painting portrays an elderly man, stooped and weary, collecting sticks in a forest. He is accompanied by a young girl who appears to be his granddaughter, adding a poignant generational contrast to the scene. The figures are set against a backdrop of dense woodland, with the intricate play of light and shadow capturing the essence of the rural French countryside. Bastien-Lepage's meticulous attention to detail and his use of muted, naturalistic colors contribute to the painting's evocative atmosphere.

"The Wood Gatherer" is often interpreted as a commentary on the hardships of rural life, reflecting the social realities of the late 19th century. Bastien-Lepage's work is characterized by his empathy for peasant subjects and his dedication to portraying them with dignity and depth. The painting has been praised for its technical mastery and emotional resonance, and it remains an important example of the Naturalist movement in art. Through "The Wood Gatherer," Bastien-Lepage continues to be recognized for his significant contributions to the development of modern painting, influencing later artists with his blend of realism and sensitivity to the human condition.
