"Haymaking" (French: "Les Foins") is an 1858 painting by the French artist Jules Jacques Veyrassat, known for his realistic depictions of rural life and labor in the 19th century. This work is a prime example of Veyrassat's dedication to capturing the essence of peasant life, particularly the agricultural practices of the time. The painting illustrates the haymaking process, a critical and labor-intensive part of the agricultural calendar, showcasing peasants at work in the fields during the summer.

The composition of "Haymaking" is carefully constructed to convey the toil and communal effort involved in the task. The figures are depicted with attention to detail and naturalism, a characteristic of the Realist movement to which Veyrassat is often associated. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to render the textures of the landscape and the peasants' clothing, contribute to the painting's sense of realism and immediacy.

Veyrassat's work is significant for its social commentary, as it reflects the realities of rural life without romanticizing it, a common approach among Realist painters who sought to portray life as it was, rather than an idealized version. "Haymaking" serves not only as a visual record of 19th-century French rural labor but also as a testament to the artist's commitment to representing the dignity of peasant work.

The painting is part of Veyrassat's broader oeuvre, which includes similar scenes of agricultural activities and rural landscapes. His work is often compared to that of other Realist artists such as Jean-François Millet, who also focused on the lives of peasants and the working class. "Haymaking" is a valuable piece for understanding the social and artistic context of the period, offering insight into the rural economy and the aesthetic movements that sought to document and comment on the changing world of the 19th century.
