"La Cruche Cassée" (The Broken Pitcher) is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1771. It is often referred to by its alternative title, "La Laitière" (The Milkmaid). The painting is celebrated for its fine detail, emotional resonance, and its representation of innocence and virtue. It depicts a young girl in a rustic setting, holding a broken pitcher, which is symbolic of lost innocence or purity. The girl's downcast eyes and the spilled contents of the pitcher suggest a narrative of an accident or a moment of carelessness, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of youth and the consequences of actions.

Greuze was known for his genre paintings that often carried moral messages, and "La Cruche Cassée" is a prime example of his work that combines a sentimental narrative with a moral lesson. The painting's composition, with its use of light and shadow, guides the viewer's focus towards the girl's expression, enhancing the emotional impact of the scene.

As of the time of writing, "La Cruche Cassée" is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance. Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805) was a prominent figure in French painting during the 18th century, and his works, including "La Cruche Cassée," have been influential in the development of genre painting and the portrayal of moralizing subjects in art.
