I'm not familiar with that work, but there WAS another painting in the Orsay that I was thinking about ... Rosa Bonheur's "Ploughing in the Nivernais". The composition is different and her detail work is masterful, but the general mood of that painting had a profound impact on me and I was going for something similar here.

I was going to ask if Anton Mauve was an influence from the composition. Your painting is great, thanks for sharing.
