Midday’s Pause 

"Midday’s Pause" is a painting by Daniel Ridgway Knight, a British artist known for his depictions of French peasant life. This painting portrays a young woman standing in a field of wheat, likely taking a break from her work. She holds a pitcher in one hand, with a picnic basket and other provisions on the ground nearby. The painting's detailed depiction of the woman's attire and the surrounding landscape, evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity often associated with the Realist movement of the late 19th century.
