"Rent Day" is a painting by the Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie, completed in 1806. This work is significant in Wilkie's oeuvre as it marks a departure from the lighter, more humorous genre scenes for which he was initially known, towards more serious and complex social narratives. The painting depicts the tension-filled event of rent collection in a rural setting, capturing the various emotional and social dynamics at play.

In "Rent Day," Wilkie meticulously portrays the interactions between the tenants and the land agent, who is seen collecting the rent, with the landlord observing the scene. The composition is rich in detail and character study, reflecting Wilkie's keen observation of human nature and his ability to translate it into visual form. The artwork is noted for its fine rendering of textures and the effective use of lighting to highlight the expressions and moods of the figures involved.

The painting not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides a commentary on the socio-economic conditions of the time. "Rent Day" has been interpreted as a sympathetic portrayal of the hardships faced by tenants and a subtle critique of the social inequalities of early 19th-century Britain. This piece is an important example of Wilkie's transition towards more socially engaged themes, which would come to define much of his later work. The painting is held in high regard for its historical value and its contribution to the genre of social realism in British art.
