"Glaneuse" is a painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1894. Bouguereau, renowned for his realistic portrayal of the human figure and a traditionalist approach to painting, was a dominant figure in French academic art during the second half of the 19th century. The title "Glaneuse" translates to "Gleaner" in English, referring to a person who collects leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested.

The painting depicts a young peasant woman in the act of gleaning, a theme that has been a subject in art for centuries, often highlighting themes of poverty, rural life, and the dignity of labor. Bouguereau's rendition is characteristic of his polished style, with a focus on the beauty and grace of the female form, set against a pastoral landscape. The subject is portrayed with an idealized elegance that is typical of Bouguereau's approach to genre painting, where even the most humble figures are imbued with a sense of classical beauty.

"Glaneuse" is an example of Bouguereau's skill in combining technical precision with a sentimental and romanticized vision of rural life. His work often reflects the social attitudes and tastes of the French bourgeoisie during the late 19th century, who favored such idyllic and sanitized portrayals of peasantry. The painting is part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which includes over 800 works, and it contributes to the understanding of the academic art movement and its response to the changing social and artistic landscapes of the time.

As with many of Bouguereau's paintings, "Glaneuse" is likely to be held in a private collection or a public institution, contributing to the legacy of an artist who, despite falling out of favor with the advent of modernism, has seen a resurgence in appreciation for his technical mastery and storytelling through art. The painting stands as a testament to Bouguereau's enduring appeal and the historical value of his work in the context of 19th-century French art.
