"Daphnis pulling a thorn from Chloe's foot by a river" is a painting by the French artist Louis Hersent, created in the early 19th century. Louis Hersent (1777–1860) was a prominent painter during the French Romantic period, known for his historical and genre scenes. His works often depicted classical themes and were characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and emotive compositions.

The painting illustrates a tender moment derived from the ancient Greek pastoral romance "Daphnis and Chloe," attributed to the 2nd-century author Longus. The narrative follows the love story of Daphnis and Chloe, two foundlings who grow up together and eventually fall in love. In this particular scene, Daphnis is shown gently removing a thorn from Chloe's foot, a moment that symbolizes care, intimacy, and the burgeoning affection between the two characters.

Hersent's composition captures the idyllic and serene atmosphere of the pastoral setting. The figures of Daphnis and Chloe are rendered with a soft, almost ethereal quality, emphasizing their youth and innocence. The surrounding landscape, with its lush greenery and tranquil river, enhances the romantic and bucolic mood of the scene. Hersent's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, highlighting the emotional connection between the two protagonists.

"Daphnis pulling a thorn from Chloe's foot by a river" exemplifies Hersent's ability to convey narrative through visual art, blending classical themes with the Romantic era's emphasis on emotion and nature. The painting is a testament to Hersent's skill in capturing the subtleties of human interaction and the beauty of the natural world. It remains a significant work within his oeuvre and a fine example of 19th-century French Romantic painting.
