What artistic elements of realism do you see in Gustave Courbet’s painting the stone breaker?

Realism and reality Unlike Millet, who, in paintings like The Gleaners, was known for depicting hard-working, but idealized peasants, Courbet depicts figures who wear ripped and tattered clothing. This is not meant to be a heroic painting: it is meant to be an accurate account of the deprivation that was a common feature of mid 19th century French rural life.
