The summer scene of the wheat harvest is the theme of this painting by Joaquim Vayreda, in which the reapers merge together to form just another element of the Olot landscape, which is the undisputed protagonist of the composition. Vayreda spent many hours observing the natural surroundings of Olot seeking his source of inspiration, doing sketch work in situ and finishing the canvases in his workshop. Another, more finished version with the same motif is preserved, which was acquired by the collector Plandiura, today at the National Art Museum of Catalonia.
