"The Quarry" (French: "La Carrière") is an oil painting by the prominent French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1856. As a leading figure of the Realism movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and the natural world as he observed them, often eschewing the romanticized and classical subjects popular among his contemporaries. "The Quarry" exemplifies this approach, depicting a rugged landscape scene that captures the raw beauty and physicality of a stone quarry.

Measuring 133 by 163 centimeters, the painting presents a view of a quarry with workers engaged in the laborious task of extracting stone. The composition is characterized by its bold, impasto brushwork and the use of a palette that reflects the earthy tones of the natural setting. Courbet's attention to detail and his ability to convey the texture of rock and soil demonstrate his mastery of technique and his desire to portray the material reality of the world around him.

"The Quarry" is part of a series of landscapes that Courbet produced during the 1850s, a period in which he frequently explored themes related to the rural countryside and the lives of peasants and laborers. The work aligns with the artist's broader social and political beliefs, as he often sympathized with the working class and sought to dignify their labor through his art.

Today, "The Quarry" is recognized as an important work within Courbet's oeuvre and the Realism movement at large. It is held in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Missouri, United States, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit.
