"Cast Shadows" (French: "Les Ombres Portées") is a painting by French artist Émile Friant, completed in 1889. This work is notable for its realistic depiction of a tranquil domestic scene, which is characteristic of Friant's attention to detail and his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life. The painting showcases Friant's skill in the use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere that was highly regarded by critics of his time.

The composition of "Cast Shadows" features figures in an interior setting, illuminated by a natural light source that casts distinct shadows, hence the title. The interplay of light and shadow is a central element in the painting, demonstrating Friant's fascination with the effects of illumination on the environment and on the mood of a scene. The subjects, likely ordinary people, are portrayed with a sense of dignity and a focus on their inner emotional states, which is a hallmark of Friant's empathetic approach to portraiture.

Émile Friant (1863–1932) was a key figure in the Naturalist movement, and his works often reflect a commitment to depicting the world with honesty and precision. "Cast Shadows" is a prime example of his technical prowess and his dedication to Naturalism, as it eschews idealization in favor of a truthful representation of its subject matter. The painting is part of Friant's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation as a master of the Naturalist style, and it remains an important piece for understanding the development of realism in late 19th-century French art.

"Cast Shadows" is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Friant's work and its significance in the context of art history. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the artist's body of work, as well as within the broader scope of Naturalist painting.
