"Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1712-78 Gathering Herbs at Ermenonville" is a painting by French artist Nicolas André Monsiau (1754–1837) that captures a poignant moment in the life of the renowned philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The artwork, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, depicts Rousseau in his final days, engaged in the simple and contemplative activity of gathering herbs in the idyllic setting of Ermenonville, a village in northern France.

Monsiau, a historical and portrait painter, was known for his detailed and often sentimental portrayals of significant events and figures from history. In this painting, he illustrates Rousseau's connection to nature, a theme that is central to Rousseau's philosophical writings, particularly in his discourse on the importance of natural education and the critique of modern society. The scene is set in the park of the Château d'Ermenonville, where Rousseau spent the last weeks of his life as the guest of the Marquis René Louis de Girardin, who was inspired by Rousseau's work to create a landscape garden that reflected the philosopher's ideals.

The artwork serves not only as a historical representation of Rousseau but also as a visual embodiment of his thoughts on the natural state of man and the virtues of a simple life. Monsiau's attention to detail in the lush surroundings and the serene expression on Rousseau's face emphasizes the harmonious relationship between humans and nature that Rousseau advocated.
