About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Léon Augustin Lhermitte, this work is a masterful example of late 19th-century realism. The scene depicts the rhythmic labor of a vineyard at harvest time, bathed in a soft, natural light that highlights the textures of the vines and the sturdy, grounded presence of the harvesters.
