"The Oyster Lunch" (French: "Le Déjeuner d'huîtres") is a significant 1734 painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-François de Troy. This artwork is notable for its depiction of a social scene from the 18th century, illustrating the leisurely activities of the French aristocracy. The painting is a prime example of de Troy's skill in capturing the elegance and frivolity of the Rococo period, which was characterized by ornate and decorative art that emphasized pleasure and entertainment.

In "The Oyster Lunch," de Troy presents a group of well-dressed individuals gathered around a table, partaking in the fashionable pastime of oyster eating, which had become a vogue among the elite in the 1730s. The composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's attention to the central figures and their interactions, while the surrounding details of the room and the table setting contribute to the narrative of opulence and indulgence.

The painting's rich color palette, the play of light and shadow, and the meticulous attention to textures—from the sheen of the silk garments to the iridescent quality of the oyster shells—demonstrate de Troy's mastery of the oil medium. "The Oyster Lunch" also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the culinary and social customs of the time.

Jean-François de Troy was a prominent painter and tapestry designer, serving as the director of the French Academy in Rome from 1738 to 1751. His works often featured mythological and historical subjects, but it is his genre scenes, such as "The Oyster Lunch," that offer a vivid glimpse into the lifestyle of the French elite during the Rococo era.

"The Oyster Lunch" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an emblem of its time. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jean-François de Troy and continues to be studied and admired for its historical and cultural significance within the context of 18th-century French art.
