# The Harvest [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEPRINCE, Auguste-Xavier]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 24 x 32 cm ## Commentary In the rich landscape depicted by Leprince, a dog runs over a bridge towards the harvesters, giving a sense of urgency to the toil which must be completed before the impending storm breaks. The dark grey clouds are rolling in fast and the family of workers are hurriedly stacking the hay bale from the horse cart. The painting is signed and dated on the bridge, lower right: 'a.x. Leprince 1822'. ## Related artworks - [A Shepherd and a Rider on a Country Lane]() - [Young Artist Painting by the Dungeon of Château Gaillard]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
