"Sainte Geneviève" (1887) is an oil on canvas painting by the American artist Charles Sprague Pearce (1851–1914). The artwork, which measures 85.5 x 50.5 inches, is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Pearce, who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, spent much of his career in France, where he became known for his genre scenes and portraits that often reflected a fascination with rural French life and historical subjects.

The painting depicts Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, known for her piety and acts of devotion. According to legend, Genevieve's prayers and leadership were credited with saving Paris from Attila the Hun's invasion in 451 AD. In Pearce's rendition, the young Genevieve is portrayed in a moment of spiritual reflection or prayer, set against a backdrop that suggests a serene, pastoral landscape. The work is emblematic of Pearce's academic style, characterized by its detailed realism, subdued palette, and the serene mood that was typical of the era's salon paintings.

"Sainte Geneviève" is considered one of Pearce's significant works, reflecting his skill in capturing the essence of French rural and religious life. The painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1887, where it received critical acclaim, further establishing Pearce's reputation as a notable American expatriate artist of the late 19th century. The artwork's presence in a major public collection like LACMA underscores its importance in the context of American art history and its connection to the broader narrative of American artists working in France during this period.
