Ruth et Booz is an oil-on-canvas painting by the 19th-century French impressionist artist Frédéric Bazille, executed in 1870, which has been in the collection of the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France since 2004.

In the evening, acting on the instructions of Naomi to seduce Boaz, Ruth visits him while he is sleeping and places herself under his power.

However, the scene he chose draws heavily on Victor Hugo's poem Booz endormi, from his 1859 La Légende des siècles.

In this letter he describes the painting as only half-finished, and it appears to have remained in this state when the Franco-Prussian War erupted and Bazille volunteered for service in a Zouave regiment in August 1870.

Bazille described the work in great detail in correspondence with his mother, including the green satin colors of the model's dress and dimensions of the painting, and he also mentioned that it had been praised by Gustave Courbet.
