The Gleaners is an oil painting by Jean-Francois Millet, completed in 1857 and held in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. It depicts three peasant women gleaning a field of stray stalks of wheat after the harvest, and is noted for portraying, with sympathy, what were then the lowest ranks of rural society; the painting was received poorly by the French upper classes at the time.
