Léon Augustin Lhermitte (1844-1925) was a French painter, draftsman and printmaker, born in Mont-Saint-Père (Aisne) and died in Paris. He devoted his work to country life: harvesters, gleaners, washerwomen and markets, together with large views of Les Halles in Paris. He also worked in pastel and charcoal. The Harvesters' Pay (1882) is held in the Musée d'Orsay. He is linked to Naturalism.
