The Vintager is a 1835 oil by David Scott, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a woman standing in front of a vineyard, surrounded by lush greenery and ripe purple grapes. She is dressed in a white tunic with red and yellow accents, and her dark hair is adorned with a gold headband. In her right hand, she holds a cluster of grapes, while her left hand grasps a bowl filled with more grapes. The woman's gaze is directed upwards, as if she is looking at the grapes hanging from the vine above her. The background of the painting features a blue sky with white clouds, adding a sense of serenity to the scene. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of harmony and balance in the painting.
