"Woman Gathering Faggots" is an oil painting by the French artist Jules Bastien-Lepage, created in 1881. The painting is a notable example of the naturalist style for which Bastien-Lepage is renowned, depicting a peasant woman in a rural landscape engaged in the laborious task of collecting bundles of sticks, known as faggots, for fuel. The artwork reflects the artist's commitment to portraying the lives of rural peasants with dignity and realism, a theme that is recurrent in his oeuvre.

Measuring 150 x 76 cm, the painting is characterized by its muted color palette and the detailed rendering of the woman's weary expression and rugged attire, which convey the hardships of rural life. The composition is imbued with a sense of immediacy and intimacy, as Bastien-Lepage often painted his subjects outdoors, en plein air, to capture the natural light and atmosphere of the French countryside.

Bastien-Lepage's technique, which includes loose brushwork and a focus on the effects of light, shows the influence of the Impressionists, although he maintained a commitment to narrative and the depiction of social realities that distinguished his work from that of his contemporaries. "Woman Gathering Faggots" is exemplary of Bastien-Lepage's skill in blending the aesthetic qualities of Impressionism with the social consciousness of Realism.

The painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Bastien-Lepage's contribution to the development of naturalism in the late 19th century. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its poignant, empathetic portrayal of the rural working class.
