Figure 30.10 GUSTAVE COURBET, The Stone-Breakers, 1849. Oil on canvas, 5 ft. 3 in.  8 ft. 6 in.

Figure 30.11 JEAN-FRANÇOIS MILLET, Gleaners, ca. 1857. Oil on canvas, approx. 2 ft. 9 in. 3 ft. 8 in. Millet’s portrayals of rural women at work—spinning,
sewing, tending sheep, and feeding children—idealized the female as selfless and saintly, and offered a somewhat romanticized view of the laboring classes.
