Pastoral Scene: Shepherd with a Pipe and a Girl is a 1763 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a serene pastoral scene, with a shepherd sitting on the ground, playing a pipe. He is dressed in a white shirt, blue pants, and a hat, and is surrounded by lush greenery and trees. A young girl stands beside him, wearing a yellow and red dress, holding a basket of flowers. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the shepherd and girl seemingly lost in their own thoughts. The shepherd's pipe is the focal point of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the tranquil atmosphere. The girl's basket of flowers adds a touch of color and vibrancy to the painting.
