"Dance of the Haymakers" is an oil painting by the American genre artist William Sidney Mount, completed in 1845. The painting is one of Mount's most celebrated works and is known for its depiction of rural American life during the mid-19th century. It portrays a group of farmers taking a break from their labor to enjoy a spontaneous dance, capturing a moment of leisure and community in the midst of their hard work.

The scene is set in a barn, with haymakers and other figures gathered around as a fiddler plays a lively tune. The composition reflects Mount's skill in rendering human figures and his attention to the details of everyday life. His use of lighting and shadow, as well as the positioning of the characters, contributes to the dynamic and festive atmosphere of the scene.

William Sidney Mount (1807–1868) was a Long Island native who gained prominence for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes from rural life. He was associated with the style of American genre painting that emerged in the early 19th century, which focused on realistic portrayals of ordinary people engaged in everyday activities. Mount's work is notable for its narrative quality and the artist's interest in capturing the social customs and cultural life of his time.

"Dance of the Haymakers" is not only a work of artistic merit but also a valuable historical document that offers insight into the social and cultural dynamics of rural America in the antebellum period. The painting is held in the collection of the New-York Historical Society in New York City, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
