''Pierrot'' (formerly known as ''Gilles'') is an oil on canvas painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, created in the early 18th century, circa 1718-1719. The painting is one of Watteau's most famous works and is considered a masterpiece of French Rococo art. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The painting depicts Pierrot, a character from the Italian commedia dell'arte, standing alone in a softly lit landscape. He is dressed in a loose white garment, typical of the commedia dell'arte performers, with large buttons and a ruffled collar. His face is painted white, and he wears a black, soft hat. Pierrot is portrayed with a melancholic expression, gazing directly at the viewer, which has led to various interpretations of his enigmatic presence.

Watteau's ''Pierrot'' is notable for its subtle interplay of light and shadow, the delicate rendering of the figure, and the atmospheric landscape that serves as the backdrop. The painting's composition, with Pierrot off-center and the open space around him, contributes to the sense of isolation and introspection. The work is emblematic of Watteau's poetic approach to painting, where mood and emotion are conveyed through a refined use of color and brushwork.

Originally titled ''Gilles'', the painting was renamed ''Pierrot'' to align with the more commonly known name of the character in the 19th century. The figure of Pierrot in this painting has been the subject of much scholarly debate, with interpretations ranging from a portrayal of the human condition to a reflection on the role of the artist in society.

''Pierrot'' is a key work in Watteau's oeuvre and has had a significant impact on the arts, influencing later artists, writers, and performers. Its enigmatic quality and the poignant representation of the solitary figure have made it an enduring symbol of the commedia dell'arte tradition and a poignant image of the solitary human experience.
