Pastorale is a 1873 oil by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a group of people in the distance. The scene is set in a natural setting, with trees and foliage surrounding the figures. In the foreground, a figure sits on the ground, while others stand or walk in the background. The painting features muted colors, with shades of green, brown, and beige dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene, creating a sense of atmosphere and mood.
