Gleaning Women
Léon Augustin Lhermitte1920
The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan
After studying drawing and entering a work in the Salon, Lhermitte traveled to London many times after 1869. He was known as a painter of farm subjects after he entered a work in the Royal Academy in 1872. He specialized in a painting surface filled with the soft, rich nuances of pastel or chalk, and was eventually forgotten after considerable fame based on the moralistic sentimentalism of the Victrorian age.
