"The Afternoon Meal" (French: "Le Déjeuner") is a 1739 painting by the French artist François Boucher, a leading proponent of the Rococo style that dominated European art during the 18th century. The painting is a quintessential example of Boucher's delicate and ornamental approach, showcasing a pastoral scene that blends elements of romanticism, sensuality, and idyllic leisure.

In "The Afternoon Meal," Boucher depicts a group of elegantly dressed figures in a lush, outdoor setting. The central figures are often interpreted as members of the leisure class, enjoying the pleasures of a meal in the countryside. The composition is characterized by soft, diffused light and a rich palette that emphasizes pastel hues, a hallmark of the Rococo aesthetic. Boucher's skillful use of color and light contributes to the overall sense of harmony and tranquility within the scene.

The painting reflects the cultural and artistic values of the time, particularly the French aristocracy's fascination with the pastoral and the idealization of rural life. It also illustrates Boucher's talent for creating scenes that are both intimate and theatrical, inviting viewers into a world of refined elegance and pleasure.

"The Afternoon Meal" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its embodiment of the Rococo spirit. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of François Boucher and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance. The painting is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it is displayed as an exemplar of 18th-century French art.
