Julien Dupré showed a monumental version of this 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.
