"Daily Bread" is a notable painting by the British artist Stanhope Alexander Forbes, a leading figure in the Newlyn School of painters. Completed in 1882, this work exemplifies Forbes' commitment to realism and his keen interest in the daily lives of ordinary people. The painting captures a moment in the life of a rural community, depicting a group of women and children engaged in the laborious task of gleaning, or collecting leftover grain from the fields after the harvest. This subject matter reflects Forbes' fascination with the dignity of rural labor and his broader interest in social realism.

Forbes' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures and colors of the natural environment are evident in "Daily Bread." The composition is carefully structured, with the figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, creating a sense of depth and movement. The use of light and shadow enhances the realism of the painting, highlighting the physical effort of the gleaners and the harshness of their environment.

"Daily Bread" is also significant for its historical context. Painted during a period of significant social and economic change in Britain, the work reflects contemporary concerns about rural poverty and the impact of industrialization on traditional ways of life. Forbes' sympathetic portrayal of his subjects invites viewers to consider the human cost of these changes and the resilience of those who continue to live and work in rural communities.

The painting is housed in the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, where it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its poignant depiction of rural life. "Daily Bread" remains an important example of Forbes' work and a testament to the enduring appeal of the Newlyn School's approach to art.
