A Carnival Scene is an 1832 genre painting by the French artist Louis-Léopold Boilly.[1] It depicts a Parisan street scene in the early years of the July Monarchy. A carnival is taking place in the The Marais district, outside the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin. It has been described as Boilly's "most ambitious crowd scene".[2]

It was exhibited at the Salon of 1833 at the Louvre.[3] Today it is in the collection of Ramsbury Manor in Wiltshire. In 2019 it featured in an exhibition at the National Gallery in London.[4]
