"La Cruche Cassée" (The Broken Pitcher) is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Adolf Jundt (1830–1919), known for his genre scenes and landscapes that often depicted the everyday life of Alsatian villagers. Created in 1871, the painting is a fine example of Jundt's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of rural life in 19th-century France.

The painting portrays a young peasant girl who appears to have accidentally broken a pitcher, a common household item essential for carrying water in the pre-plumbing era. The girl's expression is one of dismay and regret, suggesting the pitcher's value to her daily life and the inconvenience its loss represents. Jundt's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous brushwork, highlights the textures of the girl's clothing and the broken shards of the pitcher, emphasizing the central event of the narrative.

"La Cruche Cassée" reflects the influence of the Realist movement, which sought to depict subjects truthfully and without idealization, focusing on the lives of ordinary people. Jundt's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Jean-François Millet and Gustave Courbet, who also depicted rural scenes with a sense of authenticity and empathy.

The painting is notable for its representation of rural hardship and the resilience of its subjects in the face of everyday challenges. It is a testament to Jundt's skill in conveying complex emotions through simple, yet powerful compositions. "La Cruche Cassée" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Gustave Adolf Jundt and continues to be appreciated for its historical and artistic value.
