Ruth gathers what remains after the harvesters so she and Naomi can eat. Boaz notices her, offers protection and makes sure she has food. The encounter turns a field into a place of provision and dignity. Doré’s figures stand among the grain, with gesture and posture expressing the difference between vulnerability and welcome.
