Flower of the Fields is an 1845 painting on wood by Lyon artist Louis Janmot.

[1] The painting shows a young woman who is sitting in a nature scene, surrounded with flowers and butterflies.

In the background, the landscape shows a verdant plains and the mountains of the Bugey region.

The sky is blue, with some white clouds near the mountains, and indicates that the scene probably takes place in the late afternoon.

Each flower, as well as the woman's face, are painted with an extremely accuracy, the colors used are sweet and some melancholy emanates from the scene.
