The Origin of Painting: Dibutades Tracing the Portrait of a Shepherd[1][2] (1785, L'origine de la peinture) is a painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Regnault.

In the last decades of the eighteenth century there was a widespread vogue for paintings that evoked the origins of art. [...] two anecdotal subjects were often handled: "Dibutades Tracing the Portrait of a Shepherd" (the supposed origin of painting) and "Pygmalion and Galatea" (sculpture). [3]
