"A Fête Champêtre" is a notable painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a painter known for his depictions of the French upper class engaging in leisurely activities during the Rococo period. The term "fête champêtre" translates to "country festival" or "pastoral feast" and refers to a genre of painting that portrays groups of elegantly dressed individuals partaking in outdoor entertainment. These scenes often include picnics, music, dancing, and games set in idyllic landscapes, reflecting the romanticized view of nature and rural life that was fashionable among the aristocracy in the 18th century.

Lancret, a student of the esteemed painter Claude Gillot and a contemporary of Antoine Watteau, was particularly adept at capturing the lighthearted and whimsical atmosphere of these gatherings. His work is characterized by a delicate and fluid painting style, with a keen eye for the intricate details of costume and setting that bring these festive scenes to life. "A Fête Champêtre" exemplifies Lancret's skill in creating compositions that are both lively and harmonious, filled with figures that interact with each other and their surroundings in a manner that is both natural and elegantly choreographed.

The painting is a quintessential example of the Rococo movement, which emphasized grace, playfulness, and a decorative quality in the arts. Lancret's "A Fête Champêtre" not only provides a window into the leisurely pursuits of the French elite but also serves as a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of an era that celebrated beauty, pleasure, and the joys of social interaction in the natural world.

As with many works of its time, "A Fête Champêtre" would have been commissioned by a patron of the arts, possibly as a means of displaying their own refined tastes and appreciation for the cultured pastimes of the day. Today, the painting is recognized for its historical and artistic value, offering insight into the cultural milieu of 18th-century France and the enduring appeal of the Rococo aesthetic. It remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Nicolas Lancret and a celebrated piece within the broader context of French painting.
