路得在波阿斯田裏撿麥穗,供養她的婆婆拿俄米,反映農民要讓貧苦人撿拾收割後遺留穗粒以求溫飽一事。畫面上三位不同年紀的女性,表現出勞動家庭的命運。農地監督者坐於馬背上眺望,刻劃出當時的社會狀態。

It depicts three peasant women gleaning a field of stray stalks of wheat after the harvest. The painting is famous for featuring in a sympathetic way what were then the lowest ranks of rural society; it was received poorly by the French upper classes.
