The Gleaners (1887) by Léon Lhermitte

The Gleaners is an oil on canvas painting by French painter Léon Lhermitte, from 1887. It is held in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.[1]

Lhermitte depicts a scene from the working class in France. The painting takes obvious inspiration from Jean-François Millet, and his painting of the same name, The Gleaners.[2]

This painting was one of Lhermitte's that drew the admiration of Vincent van Gogh.[3]
