"Falstaff at Herne's Oak" is an oil painting by the English artist Henry Singleton (1766–1839), which depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's play "The Merry Wives of Windsor." The artwork captures the comedic moment when Sir John Falstaff, a humorous and disreputable knight, is tricked by Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. In the play, Falstaff is persuaded to dress as Herne the Hunter and wait at Herne's Oak in Windsor Forest, where he expects to meet with the women. Instead, he becomes the butt of a joke as the townsfolk, disguised as fairies and spirits, emerge to mock and chastise him for his lecherous intentions.

Singleton, known for his historical scenes and depictions of contemporary events, brings to life the Elizabethan era with a keen attention to detail and a vivid portrayal of the characters involved. The painting is notable for its dynamic composition and the way it captures the theatricality of the scene, with Falstaff's exaggerated figure taking center stage. The expressions of the characters and the use of lighting contribute to the narrative quality of the piece, effectively conveying the humor and folly of the situation.

As a visual interpretation of Shakespeare's work, "Falstaff at Herne's Oak" reflects Singleton's ability to translate literary themes into compelling images. The painting serves not only as an example of Singleton's artistic skill but also as an illustration of the enduring popularity of Shakespeare's plays and their capacity to inspire artists across different mediums.

The painting is an important work within Singleton's oeuvre and offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It remains a valuable piece for both art historians and Shakespearean scholars, illustrating the intersection of visual art and literature during the period.
