Fête champêtre is a 1730 oil by Jean-Baptiste Pater, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a lively outdoor scene, with a group of people gathered in a wooded area. The group is dressed in 18th-century attire, with the women wearing long dresses and the men sporting knee-length pants and jackets. In the foreground, a woman sits on a bench, while another woman stands beside her, holding a dog on a leash. A man stands behind them, looking out at the viewer. The background features trees and a cloudy sky. A notable detail in the painting is the use of warm colors, which creates a sense of comfort and relaxation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate folds of the clothing and the expressions on the faces of the figures.
