"The Story Teller" (French: "Le Conteur") is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a prominent painter of the Rococo era known for his genre scenes and depictions of the French aristocracy. Lancret, a student of Pierre Dulin and later a follower of Antoine Watteau, became celebrated for his lively and delicate portrayal of the fêtes galantes, a genre of painting depicting the outdoor amusements of French high society.

The painting "The Story Teller" is a quintessential example of Lancret's work, showcasing a social gathering in a pastoral setting where elegantly dressed figures engage in leisurely activities. Central to the composition is a figure assumed to be narrating a story or an event to an attentive audience, reflecting the 18th-century French society's fondness for storytelling and intellectual discourse. The artwork captures the nuances of human interaction and the subtleties of facial expression, which are characteristic of Lancret's style.

Lancret's use of color, light, and composition in "The Story Teller" demonstrates his mastery of the Rococo aesthetic, with a harmonious palette and a sense of movement that animates the scene. The painting not only provides a glimpse into the cultural life of the period but also serves as a testament to the artist's ability to convey the charm and vivacity of the era's social engagements.

"The Story Teller" is part of Lancret's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation during his lifetime and posthumously. His works were highly sought after by collectors and patrons, including members of the French royal family. Today, Lancret's paintings, including "The Story Teller," are held in high esteem and can be found in major museums and art collections around the world, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical and artistic value.
