"Le Bouvier" is an oil painting by the French artist Félix Dominique de Vuillefroy (1841–1910), known for his pastoral scenes and depictions of rural life in France during the 19th century. The title, which translates to "The Herdsman" or "The Cowherd" in English, reflects the subject matter of the painting: a pastoral scene featuring a cowherd tending to his cattle.

De Vuillefroy, a student of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a pupil of the renowned academic painter Alexandre Cabanel, was influenced by the Barbizon school of painters, who focused on naturalistic and realistic portrayals of the countryside. His work often captured the serene and idyllic aspects of agricultural life, with a particular emphasis on the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

"Le Bouvier" exemplifies de Vuillefroy's artistic style, characterized by its attention to detail, soft color palette, and the gentle rendering of light and shadow. The composition likely features a tranquil rural landscape, with the cowherd and his herd as the central figures, set against the backdrop of the French countryside. The painting would have been created during a period when there was a growing nostalgia for rural life in France, amidst the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the country.

Although the exact date of creation for "Le Bouvier" is not specified, de Vuillefroy's active period as an artist suggests that the work would have been produced in the late 19th century. His paintings were exhibited at the Paris Salon, where he received several medals for his work, indicating that "Le Bouvier" would have been part of the traditional art scene of the time and may have been exhibited or sold to patrons of the arts.

As with many works of art from this era, "Le Bouvier" would be of interest to art historians and enthusiasts of French pastoral painting, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic landscape of 19th-century France. The painting is a testament to de Vuillefroy's skill in capturing the essence of rural life and the enduring appeal of the pastoral genre in French art.
