"Picnic in a Park" (also known as "Fête champêtre") is an 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 during the Rococo period. The painting, which dates from the 1730s, is a quintessential example of Lancret's work, showcasing his talent for capturing the playful and romantic atmosphere of outdoor social gatherings that were popular among the aristocracy of the time.

The composition of "Picnic in a Park" is characteristic of Lancret's style, with elegantly dressed figures arranged in a natural setting that suggests both the beauty of the countryside and the cultivated tastes of his subjects. The painting is imbued with a sense of lightness and movement, as the figures interact with each other and their environment in a scene that appears both candid and carefully orchestrated.

Lancret's work is often compared to that of his contemporary Antoine Watteau, with whom he shared an interest in the fête galante genre—a term coined by the French Academy to describe scenes of amorous festivities among the nobility set in idyllic landscapes. However, Lancret's paintings are distinguished by their more intimate scale and their focus on the joyous aspects of these gatherings, as opposed to the more melancholic undertones present in Watteau's work.

"Picnic in a Park" is held in high regard for its fine detail, balanced composition, and the artist's skillful rendering of textiles and surfaces, which contribute to the overall sense of luxury and refinement. The painting is part of a larger body of Lancret's work that provides valuable insight into the social customs and cultural preoccupations of the French elite in the years leading up to the Revolution.

Today, "Picnic in a Park" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Nicolas Lancret and is appreciated for its historical significance as well as its aesthetic qualities. The painting can be found in the collection of the Wallace Collection in London, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the general public alike.
