Les glaneuses, also known as The Gleaners, is a notable painting created by the French artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte in 1887. Lhermitte, renowned for his realistic depictions of rural life, captures the essence of peasant labor in this work. The painting portrays three women engaged in the act of gleaning, which involves collecting leftover grains from the fields after the harvest. This practice, often associated with the rural poor, is depicted with a sense of dignity and respect, highlighting the artist's empathy towards the working class.

Lhermitte's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the rural landscape are evident in Les glaneuses. The composition is balanced, with the figures of the women prominently placed in the foreground, their bent postures emphasizing the physical toll of their labor. The background features expansive fields under a vast sky, suggesting both the beauty and the harshness of the rural environment. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the realism, bringing a sense of immediacy and presence to the scene.

The painting is often compared to Jean-François Millet's earlier work, also titled The Gleaners, created in 1857. While both artists address similar themes, Lhermitte's approach is distinct in its heightened realism and detailed execution. His portrayal of the gleaners is less idealized and more grounded in the everyday realities of rural life.

Les glaneuses by Léon Augustin Lhermitte is celebrated for its technical mastery and its compassionate portrayal of rural labor. It stands as a significant example of 19th-century French art, reflecting the social and economic conditions of the time while showcasing Lhermitte's skill in capturing the human condition.
