"Peasants' Dinner" (also known as "The Farmers' Lunch") is a painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created circa 1618. This work is one of Velázquez's early genre paintings, produced during his formative years in Seville, before his move to Madrid and subsequent appointment as a court painter to King Philip IV of Spain. The painting depicts a group of peasants sharing a simple meal, a subject that reflects the naturalistic and realistic approach that Velázquez is renowned for.

The composition of "Peasants' Dinner" is characterized by its intimate portrayal of everyday life, with figures that are rendered with a sense of individuality and dignity. Velázquez's skillful use of chiaroscuro—contrasting light and shadow—enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and brings focus to the interactions among them. The painting's palette is subdued, employing earthy tones that were typical of the bodegón genre, a type of Spanish still life and genre painting that often included kitchen scenes with figures.

"Peasants' Dinner" is significant in Velázquez's oeuvre as it exemplifies his early interest in the lives of common people, a theme that he would revisit throughout his career, albeit less frequently after his rise to court painter. The work also demonstrates his burgeoning talent in capturing the textures of food, fabric, and the human form, elements that would later be refined in his more mature works.

While the exact location of "Peasants' Dinner" is not always consistently documented, it is believed to be part of a private collection or housed in a museum specializing in Spanish art. The painting is often studied in the context of Velázquez's development as an artist and is considered an important example of 17th-century Spanish genre painting. It continues to be admired for its realistic representation and the insight it provides into the social conditions and cultural practices of the period.
