About the piece
Jules Bastien-Lepage’s 'October' is a cornerstone of late 19th-century French art, celebrated for its meticulous realism and atmospheric depth. The scene depicts the potato harvest in the artist's native Damvillers, where the earthy palette and focused composition elevate a moment of common labor into a powerful, timeless statement.
