Adolphe Monticelli - The Hayfield [c.1860-80]


Monticelli (1824 – 1886) made a number of paintings of peasants at work in the fields, both in his native Provence and elsewhere in France. It is not certain where this particular harvest scene is set.

[Oil on wood, probably mahogany, 21.6 x 43.8 cm]
