"La Porteuse d'Eau" (The Water Carrier) is an oil painting by the American artist Daniel Ridgway Knight (1839–1924), known for his picturesque depictions of the rural French peasantry. Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Knight had firmly established his artistic career in France, the painting exemplifies his fascination with the daily lives of peasant women and the idyllic settings of the French countryside.

The artwork features a young peasant woman, a recurring subject in Knight's oeuvre, captured in a moment of everyday life as she carries a yoke with two buckets of water. The figure is often portrayed with a sense of grace and dignity, set against a lush, verdant landscape that reflects Knight's keen observation of light, color, and nature. The attention to detail in the woman's attire and the surrounding environment is indicative of Knight's commitment to realism and his ability to infuse his scenes with a sense of serenity and harmony.

"La Porteuse d'Eau" is characteristic of Knight's work during his most productive years, where he combined the influences of the French academic tradition with the plein-air techniques of the Impressionists, resulting in a distinctive style that resonated with both American and European audiences. His paintings were well-received, often exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Paris Salon, and collected by art patrons around the world.

As a notable example of Daniel Ridgway Knight's artistic legacy, "La Porteuse d'Eau" not only captures the essence of rural French life but also contributes to the broader narrative of American artists who sought inspiration abroad during the late 19th century. The painting remains a testament to Knight's technical skill and his empathetic, yet idealized, portrayal of peasant subjects, which continue to charm and engage viewers with their timeless appeal.
