"La Cueillette des Cerises" (English: "Cherry Picking") is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a painter known for his depictions of the French upper class engaging in leisurely activities. Lancret, a student of Pierre Dulin and later a follower of Antoine Watteau, was a prominent member of the Rococo movement, which was characterized by its light-hearted and whimsical themes, often portraying the frivolity of the aristocracy.

The painting captures a bucolic scene of elegantly dressed figures in a pastoral landscape, engaged in the leisurely activity of picking cherries. The composition typically features a group of individuals, both men and women, with some perched on ladders among the cherry trees, while others gather the fruit or engage in flirtatious exchanges, embodying the carefree and romantic spirit of the era.

Lancret's work is noted for its fine brushwork, attention to detail, and the use of soft, pastel colors that contribute to the overall light and airy feel of the scene. "La Cueillette des Cerises" exemplifies the Rococo style through its depiction of the playful and pleasurable pastimes of the elite, set against a backdrop of natural beauty.

This painting is significant as it reflects the cultural and social milieu of the time, illustrating the leisure activities of the French aristocracy before the Revolution. Lancret's paintings, including "La Cueillette des Cerises," were highly sought after by patrons and collectors during his lifetime and remain valued for their historical and artistic merit.

"La Cueillette des Cerises" is part of Lancret's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost painters of the fête galante, a genre of painting that depicted outdoor amusements of French high society. The work is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in renowned museums, offering viewers a glimpse into the idyllic and often idealized world of 18th-century French society.
