"Woman with a Jug" (French: "La Femme à la cruche") is a painting by the renowned French artist Édouard Manet, created in 1858-1860. As one of the early works in Manet's oeuvre, this painting exemplifies the transition from the academic style of his training to the more modern approach that would later define his career and contribute significantly to the birth of Impressionism. The painting depicts a domestic scene, a common subject in 19th-century French art, showcasing a woman in a moment of everyday life as she holds a jug.

The composition of "Woman with a Jug" is marked by Manet's interest in the realist works of artists such as Gustave Courbet, as well as the influence of Spanish painting, particularly the works of Diego Velázquez, whose approach to form and light Manet greatly admired. The painting's brushwork anticipates the looser, more expressive style that Manet would develop further in his later works. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the material qualities of the subject's clothing and the jug, demonstrate Manet's skill in rendering different textures and surfaces.

"Woman with a Jug" is significant not only for its place within Manet's artistic development but also for its reflection of the changing social and artistic landscape of the time. The painting's focus on a simple, unidealized portrayal of a woman in a domestic setting contrasts with the historical and mythological subjects that dominated the art of the French Academy. This shift towards scenes of contemporary life and ordinary people would become a hallmark of modern art.

The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical importance and its role in the evolution of modern painting. As with many of Manet's works, "Woman with a Jug" has been the subject of art historical analysis and criticism, contributing to the understanding of the artist's technique, his engagement with the art of his time, and his lasting impact on the course of Western art history.
