A Pastoral Scene ('La Jardiniere Endormie') is a 1762 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
In this painting, a woman reclines on a blanket, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. She wears a flowing white dress with a red sash, and a straw hat rests beside her. A black and white cat sits on her lap, while a man stands behind her, holding a bouquet of flowers. The scene is set against a backdrop of towering trees, their branches stretching towards the sky. The atmosphere is serene, with soft, golden light illuminating the figures. This peaceful scene is reminiscent of the works of artist François Boucher.
François Boucher was a French painter, draughtsman and etcher, who worked in the Rococo style.
