Midday Rest is a 1854 oil by Cornelius Krieghoff, a Hudson River School Movement work, held at Art Gallery of Ontario.
This painting shows four people sitting by a riverbank, surrounded by trees. One person is lying down with a dog, while the others sit on the ground, possibly talking or resting. They are all dressed in traditional clothing, and there is a fire burning in front of them. The scene is peaceful, with the people seemingly enjoying each other's company in a serene natural setting. The painting's use of warm colors and soft brushstrokes adds to the sense of tranquility.
