Pastoral Landscape is a 1854 oil by Charlotte Nasmyth, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a river flowing through it, surrounded by trees and hills. In the distance, a castle sits atop a hill, while a person is seen sitting under a tree near the river. The sky above is a soft blue with white clouds. The painting's use of warm colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of tranquility, drawing the viewer into the peaceful scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the light reflects off the water and the texture of the trees.
