The story of Reapers Resting in a Wheat Field
Sargent spent the autumn of 1885 in the Cotswolds, and painted this scene in a wheat field near the village of Broadway, Worcestershire. The reapers sit in a semicircle with their sickles stuck in the ground while stacked sheaves show the harvest well under way; the long, wavy brushstrokes reflect his Impressionist leanings of those years.

John Singer Sargent
John Singer Sargent was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury. He created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. His oeuvre documents worldwide travel, from Venice to the Tyrol, Corfu, Capri, Spain, the Middle East, Montana, Maine, and Florida.
