"Le Passeur" (The Ferryman) is an oil on canvas painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, completed in 1911. The artwork is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail and its portrayal of rural life, themes that are characteristic of Lhermitte's body of work. In "Le Passeur," Lhermitte captures a serene moment along a riverbank, where a ferryman is depicted transporting passengers across the water. The composition reflects the artist's fascination with the daily lives of peasants and laborers, and his ability to imbue such scenes with a sense of dignity and quiet grandeur.

Lhermitte, born in 1844, was a prominent figure in the French realist movement, and his work often drew comparisons to that of Jean-François Millet, another artist known for his depictions of peasant life. "Le Passeur" is considered one of Lhermitte's later masterpieces and exemplifies his skill in using light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere. The painting's fine detail and the lifelike rendering of figures showcase Lhermitte's technical prowess and his commitment to portraying the rural working class with authenticity and empathy.

The painting is not only a testament to Lhermitte's artistic talent but also serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the rural practices and modes of transportation of early 20th-century France. "Le Passeur" has been exhibited in various galleries and has received critical acclaim for its artistic merit and its contribution to the documentation of French rural heritage. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and sociocultural significance.
