"Saison d'Octobre: Récolte des pommes de terre" (October: Gathering Potatoes) is a notable painting by the French realist artist Jules Bastien-Lepage, created in 1879. The work is a quintessential example of Bastien-Lepage's commitment to depicting rural life and labor with a sense of immediacy and naturalism. This painting is part of a series that captures the different seasons and associated agricultural activities, reflecting the artist's deep connection to his native countryside in the Lorraine region of France.

Measuring 80 x 100 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas and showcases Bastien-Lepage's skillful use of light and shadow to evoke the atmosphere of an autumn day. The composition centers on peasant workers engaged in the arduous task of potato gathering, a theme that resonates with the artist's broader interest in the dignity of peasant life. The figures are rendered with a palpable sense of weariness, yet they also embody the resilience and fortitude of those who toil the land.

Bastien-Lepage's technique, characterized by loose brushwork and a muted palette, allows for a remarkable level of detail and texture, which brings a tactile quality to the earth and the harvested potatoes. The painting's perspective places the viewer within the scene, creating an immersive experience that was praised for its realism and empathy towards the rural working class.

"October: Gathering Potatoes" is often discussed in the context of Bastien-Lepage's influence on the Naturalist movement in painting, as well as his impact on later artists, including the regionalist painters of the early 20th century. The work is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Bastien-Lepage's oeuvre.
