About the piece
Painted circa 1880 by Julien Dupré, this masterpiece of French Realism depicts peasants at work during the hay harvest. The composition centers on two women in the foreground, their figures imbued with a quiet dignity as they labor under a vast, cloud-swept sky. Dupré’s signature ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow across the landscape creates a scene that is both industrious and serene.
