Two peasants rest on a haystack in a sunlit field, one with a hat over his face; a cart and horses far off under blue sky.

The siesta (after Millet)

Two peasants rest on a heap of golden hay in a sunlit field, one with a hat tipped over his face and the other with an arm behind her head. A scythe and wooden clogs lie in the stubble, with a cart and horses far off under a blue sky.

Español: La siesta (según Millet)

Dos campesinos descansan sobre un montón de heno dorado en un campo soleado, uno con el sombrero caído sobre el rostro y la otra con un brazo tras la cabeza. Una guadaña y zuecos de madera yacen en el rastrojo, con una carreta y caballos al fondo bajo un cielo azul.

Português: A sesta (após Millet)

Dois camponeses descansam sobre um monte de feno dourado em um campo ensolarado, um com o chapéu inclinado sobre o rosto e a outra com um braço atrás da cabeça. Uma foice e tamancos de madeira jazem no restolho, com uma carroça e cavalos ao longe sob um céu azul.
