"The Waterseller of Seville" is a notable early 17th-century painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created around 1623. This work is one of several versions Velázquez painted on this theme, and it is celebrated for its realistic depiction of everyday life in Seville, a genre known as bodegón. The painting portrays a humble waterseller, a common figure in the streets of Spanish cities during that period, providing a cool drink to a young boy while an older man looks on, possibly awaiting his turn.

Velázquez's mastery in rendering the textures of the earthenware jug, the glass of water, and the figures' skin tones is evident in this work. The play of light and shadow, as well as the subtle reflections in the glass and water, demonstrate the artist's skill in capturing the effects of natural light, which would become a hallmark of his later works. The composition's austerity and the figures' dignified presence reflect the influence of Caravaggio and the naturalistic style that was gaining prominence at the time.

"The Waterseller of Seville" is often interpreted as a work imbued with symbolism and moral messages, common in genre paintings of the era. The waterseller, depicted as an honest and modest man, has been seen as a symbol of virtue, in contrast to the excesses associated with wine, which was a more common subject in contemporary bodegón paintings.

This painting is an important example of Velázquez's early work and provides insight into the social conditions and artistic interests in Spain during the Siglo de Oro, the Spanish Golden Age. It is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and for providing a window into the daily life of 17th-century Seville. "The Waterseller of Seville" is currently housed in the Apsley House, London, and remains a significant piece in the study of Velázquez's oeuvre and Spanish Baroque art.
