Millet was a central figure of the Barbizon school who devoted his career to depicting French peasants laboring in rural fields and meadows with a naturalistic and sympathetic approach. His paintings of peasant women working outdoors share the same combination of rural figures, flowering landscapes, and commitment to plein air observation found in this Daubigny panel.

Troyon was a fellow Barbizon painter who worked closely alongside Daubigny, painting naturalistic rural landscapes populated with figures and animals in the open French countryside. His oil panels reflect the same tonal warmth, loose brushwork, and dedication to honest observation of pastoral life that defines this flower filled field scene.

Breton specialized in painting peasant women moving through agricultural landscapes bathed in soft natural light, often set among fields of wildflowers and grain in the French countryside. His works share this painting's focus on the dignified presence of rural female figures harmoniously embedded within a luminous, naturalistic outdoor setting.
