"The Mistletoe Gatherer" is an 1894 painting by the British artist Sir John Everett Millais, who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848. Millais' work is known for its vivid color, attention to detail, and complex compositions, often imbued with rich symbolism and narrative depth.

This particular painting depicts a young woman gathering mistletoe, a plant associated with winter celebrations and ancient rituals. The subject is portrayed in a natural setting, surrounded by the bare branches from which she collects the mistletoe, symbolizing both the season and the traditional activities associated with it. The artwork captures the romantic and nostalgic essence of the Victorian era, reflecting the period's fascination with medieval and mythological themes.

Millais' technique in "The Mistletoe Gatherer" showcases his mastery of oil painting, with a keen eye for texture, light, and the subtleties of the natural world. The painting's composition and use of color demonstrate the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite principles, emphasizing realism and a return to the detail and complexity observed in early Renaissance art.

As a late work of Millais, "The Mistletoe Gatherer" represents the artist's continued engagement with themes of beauty and nature, while also hinting at the transition of his style towards a more relaxed and free brushwork that characterized his later years. The painting is a testament to Millais' enduring legacy as a key figure in 19th-century British art and his contribution to the development of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its impact on the visual arts.

"The Mistletoe Gatherer" is held in a private collection, and while it may not be as widely recognized as some of Millais' other works, it remains an important piece that contributes to the understanding of the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Victorian art.
