This is a late work by Jean Francois Millet, which was written in his last year. In a strange way, the motif and the life of the painter merge into an atmospheric composition. Dark storm clouds determine the heavenly event. The horizon in the middle of the picture gives both the heavenly and the earthly events the same amount of space. To the right are some houses, where the grass seems to be much greener and fresher. It may be the parental court; It is also said that it was the village of Barbizon, where the artist last lived. Mighty three haystacks are piled up in the center of the picture and bear witness to the rich harvest through diligent work. The shepherd seems to seek shelter here, from the punters who will fall down at any moment. Nevertheless, he keeps his sheep in view. Carefree grazing on sunlit pasture grazing the last fresh straws.
