A Pastoral is a 1788 oil by Jean-Baptiste Huet, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a couple sitting together in a lush outdoor setting. The woman, dressed in a long pink dress, sits beside a man wearing a red coat and blue pants. They are surrounded by trees and bushes, with a few objects scattered around them. In the background, a house and a fence are visible, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The use of oil paint gives the image a sense of depth and texture. To learn more about the techniques used in this painting, look up the term "glazing".
