Gathering of grain ears is a 1900 oil by Wladislaw Szerner, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
In this painting, a young girl and a toddler stand together in a field, surrounded by tall grasses and a few buildings in the distance. The girl, wearing a headscarf and a long dress, holds a bundle of grain ears in her arms, while the toddler reaches up to touch them. The scene is depicted in warm, earthy tones, with the golden light of the sun casting a gentle glow over the figures and the landscape. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist's use of chiaroscuro adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
