Cranberry Pickers, Nantucket is a 1890 oil by Eastman Johnson, a American Impressionism work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
In this painting, a group of people are gathered in a field, picking cranberries. The scene is set in a rural landscape with rolling hills and a clear blue sky. The people are dressed in simple clothing, and some are bent over, collecting the fruit. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, green, and blue dominating the palette. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet industry, with the people working together to harvest the cranberries.
