A Resting Harvest Girl

A Resting Harvest Girl is an 1837 painting by Robert Wilhelm Ekman. It depicts a young woman, dressed in a peasant-style blouse and dark blue skirt, lying asleep on a pile of harvested wheat. She rests her head on her arm, and a long-handled agricultural tool, possibly a rake or similar implement, lies beside her. The background suggests a rural landscape with trees and a darkening sky, possibly hinting at an approaching storm. The painting measures 30.5 cm x 26 cm and is part of the collection of the Pori Art Museum.
