Appreciating the works of scavengers

1, "gleaner" is an oil painting on canvas created by French barbizon painter Jean Francois Millet on 1857, which is now in the Musee d 'Orsay.

This painting depicts the scene of people picking up surplus wheat ears from the fields after the autumn harvest in rural areas. This painting has vivid characters, concise brushwork and bright and soft colors, which reflects Miller's deep feelings for farmers' life and is a typical representative of realistic artistic style.

This painting depicts the most common sight in a rural area: in autumn, golden fields look endless. In front of the picture are three peasant women, bending down to pick up the ears of wheat left on the ground after harvest. Three peasant women lined up diagonally on the screen, with different postures and movements. The woman on the far right side of the picture, with half of her body sideways and a pile of wheat in her hand, is carefully examining the wheat field that has been picked again; The peasant woman in the middle wearing a red headscarf is picking it up quickly, and the other hand is holding a bulging bag, which means that she has been picking it up for a while and there is nothing in the bag; The woman wearing a blue headscarf just came over, holding the ear of wheat picked up by her right hand in her left hand and putting it behind her, with only one in her hand. They picked it up carefully for fear of missing an ear of wheat. The background is a bumper harvest field, endless, with mountains of wheat and a busy harvest scene. A carriage full of wheat is about to leave. On the upper right, there is a man riding a horse and pointing to farmers. Many farmers are working.
