"La Spigolatrice" is an oil painting by the Italian artist Luigi Bechi (1830–1919), created in the late 19th century. The title translates to "The Gleaner" in English, and the work depicts a rural scene in which a young peasant woman is engaged in gleaning, an age-old practice where farmers allow the poor to collect leftover crops from their fields after the harvest. Bechi's portrayal of the spigolatrice is imbued with the naturalistic detail and social realism characteristic of his work, reflecting the daily life and struggles of the Italian peasantry of the time.

The painting is noted for its fine attention to detail, from the textures of the woman's clothing to the golden hues of the harvested fields in the background. Bechi's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of the figure, imbues the scene with a sense of warmth and dignity. "La Spigolatrice" is emblematic of the genre scenes for which Bechi became renowned, capturing the essence of rural Italian life during the post-Unification period.

As an artist, Luigi Bechi was part of the broader 19th-century movement that sought to depict the lives of common people with authenticity and empathy. His work often included social commentary, subtly critiquing the conditions of the lower classes and the disparities of wealth and opportunity in Italian society. "La Spigolatrice" is considered one of Bechi's significant contributions to this genre, and it remains an important example of Italian realist painting.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied as part of the canon of 19th-century Italian art. It is frequently referenced in discussions of social realism in painting and is considered a valuable cultural artifact that offers insight into the historical and social context of Italy during Bechi's lifetime.
