"October" By Jules Bastien-Lepage is his most famous painting.

October is an excellent example of Bastien-Lepage's style and skill. It depicts the autumn harvest with these two women hard at work gathering potatoes, while other laborers are visible in the distance. The artist's soft palette and brushstrokes are perfectly balanced, with the scene taking on a bucolic idealism. This detail of the woman's face shows the great care that Bastien-Lepage devoted to his work and the beauty of every stroke of his brush.
