Lithographic Print of 'The Gleaners' by Jean-François Millet

This item is an antique or vintage lithographic color print depicting the famous 1857 oil painting 'The Gleaners' (Des glaneuses) by Jean-François Millet. The artwork shows three peasant women laboring in a field to glean the remains of a wheat harvest under a setting sun. The print is rendered on a stiff paper or board substrate and measures approximately medium-sized, likely intended for home decoration. The color palette features earthy tones of gold, ocher, and muted blues and reds, typical of 19th-century Realism. The condition of the piece is fair to poor, showing significant age-related wear. There are visible white scuffs and scratches across the surface, particularly in the upper sky area and bottom edge, indicating loss of the printed surface. The corners are severely bumped and frayed, and there is a noticeable vertical crease or tear on the right edge. No artist signature or specific printer's mark is visible in the provided image, though such mass-produced prints often originated from early 20th-century lithography houses. The style exemplifies Rural Realism, focusing on the dignity of manual labor. The heavy patina and edge damage suggest the piece has been storage-worn or handled without a frame for an extended period.
