"Greek Women at the Fountain" is an 1841 oil painting by French artist Dominique Louis Papety (1815–1849). The work is notable for its depiction of everyday life in Greece, a subject that fascinated many European artists during the 19th century, particularly amid the rise of Orientalism in art. Papety, a student of the esteemed painter Paul Delaroche, was known for his detailed and romanticized portrayals of Eastern scenes, which he often painted following his travels to Greece and the East.

The painting presents a group of Greek women gathered around a fountain, a common social setting in Greek villages where women would often congregate to collect water and exchange news. Papety's representation is characterized by a meticulous attention to the details of the women's traditional clothing and the architectural elements of the fountain, reflecting his commitment to ethnographic accuracy. The serene and idyllic composition, with its soft color palette and harmonious arrangement of figures, evokes a sense of timeless tranquility and the beauty of simple, daily activities.

As a work of art, "Greek Women at the Fountain" contributes to the 19th-century European fascination with the "exotic" cultures of the East and reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the period. The painting is also significant as part of Papety's oeuvre, which, despite his early death at the age of 34, left a lasting impression on the Orientalist movement in French art. Today, the painting is appreciated for both its aesthetic qualities and its cultural and historical insights into the perception of Greek life during the era.

"Greek Women at the Fountain" is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase 19th-century European art, particularly those with a focus on Orientalist painting. It continues to be studied by art historians and scholars interested in the intersection of culture, travel, and representation in the visual arts.
