Lunch on the Meadow (French: Le déjeuner sur l'herbe), originally named Abteny, is an oil painting by French painter Édouard Manet (1832-1883). Created between 1862 and 1863, this work measures approximately 208 x 264.5 cm (81.9 x 104.5 in). The association of a naked woman with men in formal clothes caused a lot of criticism when this work was first shown at the Exposition of the Rejected in Paris in 1863. This work is now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, while a smaller, older version of the work can be seen at the Courtauld Gallery in London.
