Rest at Harvest

A young woman rests on the ground at the edge of a golden harvest field, lying on her side with her head propped on her arm, wearing a white blouse, a dark bodice, and a full teal skirt that pools over the grass; a red flower lies near her hand. She is placed diagonally across the foreground with the tall stalks of grain rising behind her and a distant house and trees on the horizon, creating a calm, expansive composition; warm yellows and ochres of the field contrast with the cool greens of the grass and skirt, all rendered with soft, luminous light. The painting exemplifies 19th-century academic realism, with polished brushwork, carefully modeled flesh, and meticulous textures of fabric and hair, producing an idealized, serene mood.
