Return from the Fields

Jean-François Millet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts three people and a donkey. A shirtless man with dark hair sits on a load of hay on a cart, pointing to the right. He wears a loincloth. A woman with a red headscarf lies on her side on the hay, holding flowers. A man wearing a straw hat, a brown vest over a white shirt, and dark shorts pushes the cart. The background is dark and hazy, with trees visible. The overall color palette is dark and muted, with shades of brown, green, and gray.
