The composition of "A Rest from the Harvest" captures a moment of respite during the strenuous harvest season, showcasing a group of peasants taking a break amidst their toils. Lhermitte's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, imbues the scene with a sense of warmth and naturalism. The figures are rendered with dignity and a palpable sense of weariness, reflecting the artist's respect for their hard work and his commitment to social realism.

Lhermitte, born in 1844 in Mont-Saint-Père, France, was a contemporary of the Impressionists but chose to focus on the rural landscapes and the daily lives of peasants.
