Pastoral Scene with Musicians by a classical Ruin is a 1757 oil by Richard Wilson, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a classical ruin in the background. In the foreground, three musicians play their instruments near a tree and some sheep. The scene is set in a hilly area with a distant view of a town or village. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the ruin, with its crumbling stones and overgrown vegetation. The musicians seem lost in their music, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the scene.
