"La Faneuse, a painting by Julien Dupré, […] that reflects all of the young artist's qualities [.]. He is an excellent painter of rural life, he doubtlessly was fond of the rustic charm, as he knew how to stage it with a great love for the detail, however, without any notions of Mannersiam and Naturalism, which allowed him to produce the most pleasant works, becasue reality is much more beautiful than one would think."

The hay harvest- or "La Fenaison" - is one of Julien Dupré’s best-known and most popular motifs. In the early 1890s he made several variants of the young farm girl turning the hay or loading a cart. When observing these variants at a forced rate they almost appear like continuously shot photographs: No illustration is like the other, Dupré always captures a different moment of the repetitive motion of turning the hay. Unlike it is the case with his role modelJean-Francois Millet, Dupre did not put the arduous farm labor in the focus of his paintings. The young farm girl on the sun-filled field seems jaunty, the glistening hay reflects the sunlight and creates an impression of easiness. Solely the turned-up sleeves and the strong body that jams the pitchfork into the stack of hay suggest the labor‘s physical effort.
