Pastorale is a 1896 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a park or garden. They are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and seem to be enjoying the outdoors. The scene is painted in a loose, impressionistic style, with visible brushstrokes and soft colors. In the foreground, a woman sits on a bench, surrounded by trees and bushes. She looks relaxed and content, lost in thought. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene, with a sense of tranquility emanating from the scene.
