The lavender clouds in the background sky meet the pale green fields leading to the three peasants picking up the leftovers of grain in "The Gleaners, 1857" by Jean Millet. The obscured faces of the three workers and their dark skin tones suggest poverty stricken peasants which creates a sombre theme in contrast to the brightness of the field. The almost pastel shades of the compositon are accompanied by fine detail that evoke a deep realism to this master work.Shop painting reproduction on canvas.
