Reapers Resting in a Wheat Field is a late 19th-century painting by American impressionist John Singer Sargent.
Done in oil on canvas, the painting a scene set in a wheat field near the village of Broadway, Worcestershire.
[1] The painting depicts a group of English wheat farmers resting in their field during harvest.
The sky in the background is slightly overcast, while a brace of trees provides a stark, green backdrop that contrasts the yellow field of wheat.
Aspects of the painting consist of long, wavy brushstrokes, a style in tune with Sargent's impressionist proclivities.
