A flock of sheep grazes peacefully nearby as laborers engage in gleaning - collecting leftover grain after harvest. The painting exudes realism and authenticity as it portrays the daily life of peasants working tirelessly to sustain themselves during fall season. Millet's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous brushstrokes that beautifully depict every strand of hay and blade of grass.
