"Siesta of a Harvester" is a black and white etching by French artist Alphonse Legros. The artwork depicts a solitary figure, likely a farmer, taking a nap in a field. The worker's scythe is thrown casually nearby, hinting at the long day of toil. The composition is simple and direct, with the figure prominently positioned in the foreground. Legros is known for his realistic portrayal of working-class life, capturing the grit and beauty of everyday labor. This etching is a prime example of his style, with its expressive lines and detailed depiction of the rural environment.
