About the piece
Painted in 1860 by Aleksander Kotsis, this evocative work captures a haymaker paused in a darkening landscape at dusk. The dramatic contrast between the deep shadows of the foreground and the soft glow of the sun dipping behind the hills creates a sense of quiet, somber beauty typical of Kotsis's realistic yet emotive approach to rural life.
