Catalogue Note
Julien Dupré showed this monumental harvest scene–one of his largest and most accomplished compositions–at the Salon of 1877 as Les Faucheurs de seigle, en Picardie, his second appearance at the official-state sponsored exhibition where he debuted the previous year. Having studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in the studios of Isidore Pils and Henri Lehman, Dupré devoted himself to scenes of daily life in the rural environs of Paris.
