"Breton Women at the Fountain" is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created in 1858. This work is part of Corot's series of paintings depicting scenes from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France known for its distinct cultural identity and picturesque landscapes. The painting measures 81 cm × 65 cm (31.9 in × 25.6 in) and is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest in Brest, France.

In "Breton Women at the Fountain," Corot captures a moment of daily life with a poetic sensibility that is characteristic of his work. The scene portrays two Breton women in traditional dress, one standing and the other kneeling, as they gather water from a stone fountain. The fountain, an important communal place, serves as the central element around which the figures are composed. Corot's use of soft, diffused light and his subtle rendering of the natural environment reflect his Barbizon School influences, which emphasized the truthful depiction of nature.

Corot was renowned for his landscape paintings and his pivotal role in the transition from Neoclassicism to Impressionism. Although he is best known for his landscapes, he also painted a number of figure studies and genre scenes, such as "Breton Women at the Fountain." This painting is notable for its harmonious blend of figure and landscape, and for its serene atmosphere. Corot's delicate brushwork and muted color palette contribute to the overall tranquility of the scene, while the presence of the Breton women adds a human element that invites viewers to contemplate the simplicity and rhythm of rural life.

The painting is a testament to Corot's fascination with the French countryside and his skill in capturing the essence of the places he visited. "Breton Women at the Fountain" remains an important example of Corot's work and of 19th-century French painting, offering insight into the artist's approach to genre scenes and his enduring influence on future generations of painters.
