"Woman in a Podoscaphe" is a painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1863. As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and for his role in challenging the conventional art of his time. The painting depicts a woman, seated inside a podoscaphe—a type of small, submersible craft used for underwater exploration in the 19th century. This unusual subject matter reflects Courbet's interest in depicting modern life and technology, as well as his fascination with the female form.

The artwork is notable for its blend of realism and romanticism, capturing the woman in a moment of contemplation or discovery, isolated within the confines of the innovative vessel. The use of light and shadow, along with Courbet's skillful rendering of textures and materials, contributes to the painting's evocative atmosphere. "Woman in a Podoscaphe" is considered an example of Courbet's exploration of themes such as isolation, the relationship between humanity and technology, and the role of women in the rapidly changing society of his time.

While the painting is not as widely recognized as some of Courbet's other works, such as "The Stone Breakers" or "The Origin of the World," it remains an important piece within his oeuvre, offering insight into his artistic interests beyond the rural landscapes and social scenes for which he is best known. "Woman in a Podoscaphe" is held in a private collection, and its exhibition history and provenance contribute to its significance in the study of 19th-century French art and the broader Realist movement.
