The Tired Gleaner

Jules Breton

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman standing in a field. The woman wears a white head covering, a white blouse, a brown skirt, and a brown jacket. Her right arm is bent at the elbow and her hand is near the back of her head. Her left arm is extended to the side. She is barefoot. A sack sits on the ground behind her, and a shovel lies on the ground to her left. The background shows a green field and a sunset with a large orange sun. The sky is yellow, orange, and gray.
