"The Butter Market" is an oil painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, created in 1889. The work is a prime example of Lhermitte's dedication to depicting rural life and labor in France during the late 19th century. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of peasant life, Lhermitte's "The Butter Market" is a testament to his mastery in portraying the everyday activities of the countryside with dignity and realism.

The painting presents a bustling scene of a traditional butter market, where women are seen selling their dairy products. The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the various interactions between the market vendors and their customers. Lhermitte's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of textures, from the creamy butter to the weathered clothing of the peasants, demonstrates his technical prowess and his commitment to naturalism.

Measuring at a significant size, "The Butter Market" immerses the viewer in the lively atmosphere of the market. The artist's choice of a common, yet integral, rural economic activity highlights the importance of agricultural markets in the social and economic fabric of rural France during this period. Lhermitte's work not only serves as a visual record of the era but also reflects the broader artistic movement towards the truthful representation of the working class and their environment.

"The Butter Market" is held in high regard for its historical and artistic value and is considered one of Lhermitte's significant contributions to the genre of rural realism. The painting is part of a collection in a notable museum or private collection, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its portrayal of 19th-century French rural life.
