"The Savoyard with a Marmot" is an 18th-century oil painting by French Roc artist Jean-Antoine Watteau. This artwork housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, to its extensive collection of European art. As suggested the title, the painting portrays a Savoyard, a native from the Savoie region in France, holding a marmot, which is a type of large squirrel prevalent in mountainous areas.

Watteeau, renowned for his masterful talent in drawing, portrays the young Savoyard in a relaxed yet alert pose, with the marmot peacefully nested in his arms. The physical features and the distinct attire of the Savoyard are meticulously depicted, illustrating Watteau's accuracy in capturing regional cultures and nuances. The marmot, on the other hand, is an unconventional yet absorbing inclusion, symbolizing the creatures' significance in Alpine folklore.

The artwork, characterized by Watteau's typical soft color palette, reflects the Rococo style's fondness for delicate, playful themes. As is characteristic of Watteau's work, the painting exhibits expert skill in portraying textures, from the marmot’s fur to the flowing fabric of the Savoyard's clothes. The painting is believed to have been completed in approximately 1716, during the last years of Watteau's life, making it among his final works.

Reference to "The Savoyard with a Marmot" in art historical discussion is often cited as evidence of Watteau's curiosity and regard for diverse social classes and regions, a hallmark of his expansive body of work. Despite the simplicity of its subjects, the painting continues to be significant in showcasing Watteau's artistic mastery and innovative approach to Rococo painting.
