This is a painting of the artist's birthplace, a village in the Aisne, an area in the Picardy region of France. Lhermitte's subject matter rarely deviated from the peasants and rural life of his youth. He represented the dignity of peasant life in the face of encroaching technology. Vincent van Gogh was an admirer of his work for which he gained considerable recognition following an exhibition at the Paris Salon in 1864. He was awarded the prestigious Legion of Honour by the French government in recognition of his work.
