"La Paye des moissonneurs" (Paying the Harvesters) is an oil painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, completed in 1882. The work is renowned for its meticulous depiction of rural life and the labor of French peasantry during the late 19th century. Measuring 151 x 204 cm, the painting is a prime example of Lhermitte's dedication to portraying the dignity and toil of agricultural workers, a theme that resonated with the social and artistic movements of the time.

In "La Paye des moissonneurs," Lhermitte captures the moment when harvesters receive their wages after a long day of work in the fields. The composition is bustling with activity, as figures of varying ages and genders engage in the transaction and the surrounding interactions. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, emphasizes the physicality of the laborers and the naturalistic setting in which they work.

Lhermitte's work is often compared to that of Jean-François Millet, another prominent realist painter who focused on peasant life. However, Lhermitte distinguished himself with his unique approach to light and texture, which can be seen in the intricate rendering of the harvesters' attire and the golden hues of the harvested grain.

"Paying the Harvesters" is celebrated for its historical and cultural significance, as it documents the rural customs and social dynamics of the period. The painting is also a testament to Lhermitte's skill in capturing the essence of French rural life and his empathy for the working class. Today, the painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Lhermitte's contribution to the realist movement and his profound understanding of the human condition as reflected in the daily lives of the peasantry.
