Pastoral Repast is a 1769 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting depicts a serene outdoor scene. A woman, dressed in a long red skirt and a yellow top, sits on the ground with a baby in her lap. She points towards a young boy standing to her right, who is holding a small bowl. The woman has a white head covering, and the boy wears a brown vest over a white shirt and gray pants. The setting appears to be a forest or wooded area, with trees and bushes surrounding the figures. The sky above is blue with white clouds. The painting features a mix of warm and cool colors, with the woman's red skirt standing out against the more muted tones of the surrounding foliage. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of tranquility and domesticity. For more on the artist behind this work, explore the paintings of François Boucher.
