About the piece
Painted in 1904 by André Brouillet, this oil work titled 'La Vie Simple' (The Simple Life) depicts a moment of rest during the hay harvest. A mother sits nestled against a towering haystack, breastfeeding her youngest while an older child watches, surrounded by the sun-drenched fields of the French countryside.
