"Pastorale" (also known as "Pastoral") is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1883. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in French academic painting during the late 19th century, and his work is characterized by its idealized neoclassical style, technical precision, and themes often drawn from mythology and allegory. "Pastorale" is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of the pastoral genre, which celebrates the idyllic and often romanticized vision of rural life.

The painting depicts a serene rural scene in which a group of young shepherdesses are tending to their flock in a lush, verdant landscape. The central figures are rendered with Bouguereau's signature smooth brushwork, which gives their skin a soft, almost porcelain-like quality. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye through the canvas, while the play of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional effect of the forms.

"Pastorale" is emblematic of Bouguereau's approach to the pastoral theme, where the beauty of nature and the innocence of youth converge to evoke a sense of peacefulness and timeless grace. The painting's idealized portrayal of country life reflects the artist's desire to escape the industrialization and urbanization that were transforming French society at the time.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Pastorale" was well-received by the art establishment of his day, celebrated for its refined aesthetic and classical sensibilities. Today, the painting is recognized as an important example of 19th-century academic art, and it continues to be appreciated for its technical excellence and its evocative representation of an Arcadian world.
