Jean-Francois Millet's "The Gleaners" exemplifies Realism through its depiction of everyday life and labor of rural women in the French countryside. The painting focuses on the dignity of the working class, highlighting the hardships and realities of rural life without romanticizing it. Additionally, the attention to detail in portraying the women's physical labor and their humble surroundings reinforces the Realist approach to representing ordinary, unidealized subjects.

realism and expression
No, realism and romanticism are two distinct artistic movements with different characteristics. Realism focuses on depicting the everyday life and experiences of ordinary people with accuracy and detail, while romanticism emphasizes emotions, imagination, and idealized nature.
Realism began in the 1850s in France. Subjects were represented in a straightforward manner, without embellishment. Typical subjects were people in their native landscapes. The Gleaners, bt Jean-François Millet, 1857 is typical. Other painters were Édouard Manet, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth.

Characteristics that determine a Realist style can become confusing, such as Edgar Degas who was a Realist painter who created works that can not be termed Realist. Generally speaking a Realist work gives the illusion of reality and is 'truthfully' painted.
