"Rest in the Fields" (French: "Le Repos dans les champs") is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Édouard Bernard Debat-Ponsan, completed in 1882. This work is emblematic of the 19th-century French Realist movement, which sought to depict subjects in a truthful and objective manner, often focusing on the lives of peasants and workers.

The painting measures 196 by 130 centimeters and is part of a series of works by Debat-Ponsan that illustrate rural life. "Rest in the Fields" portrays agricultural laborers taking a break from their work in the countryside. The composition is characterized by its naturalistic representation of the figures and the landscape, with attention to the effects of light and shadow that lend the scene a sense of immediacy and realism.

Debat-Ponsan's use of color and detail reflects the influence of his teacher, Jean-Léon Gérôme, and the broader academic art tradition. However, his subject matter—everyday life in the fields—aligns him with the Realist movement, which included artists like Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet, who were known for their depictions of the working class.

"Rest in the Fields" is notable for its portrayal of the dignity of peasant life, a theme that was central to Realist art. The painting invites viewers to consider the social and economic conditions of the time, as well as the relationship between humans and the natural world.

The work is held in a public collection, allowing for its continued exhibition and study. It has been displayed in various art institutions and has been included in exhibitions that explore the themes of labor, rural life, and Realism in art.

As a significant example of Édard Bernard Debat-Ponsan's oeuvre and the Realist movement, "Rest in the Fields" continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value, offering insight into the cultural context of late 19th-century France.
