"A Mid-day Rest - Peasant Girl With Wheat Sheaf By A Stile" is a painting by John Linnell, an English landscape and portrait painter active during the 19th century. Linnell, born in 1792 and passing in 1882, was a contemporary of William Blake and a significant figure in the Romantic movement in British art. Although primarily known for his landscapes, Linnell also produced a number of genre scenes, of which "A Mid-day Rest" is an example.

The painting depicts a pastoral scene, a common subject in Linnell's oeuvre, focusing on a young peasant girl taking a moment of respite by a stile amidst her labors in the wheat fields. The stile, a set of steps for passing over a fence or wall, serves as both a literal and metaphorical threshold in the composition, separating the toil of the fields from the tranquility of the girl's rest. The wheat sheaf she carries is emblematic of the agricultural labor and harvest, a theme often celebrated in the art and literature of the period for its connection to the land and the cycles of nature.

Linnell's treatment of light and texture in this work is characteristic of his style, with a keen attention to the effects of sunlight on the landscape and the figure. The painting's atmosphere evokes the warmth of the midday sun, a detail that underscores the title's reference to the time of day. The girl's pose and expression convey a sense of weary contentment, offering viewers a glimpse into the everyday life of rural England during the 19th century.

"A Mid-day Rest - Peasant Girl With Wheat Sheaf By A Stile" is an example of Linnell's skill in blending portraiture with landscape, creating a harmonious and evocative scene that reflects the Romantic era's fascination with nature, the pastoral tradition, and the dignity of rural life. The painting contributes to the understanding of Linnell's body of work and the broader context of British Romanticism in art.
