"La cruche cassée" (The Broken Pitcher) is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, completed in 1771. The painting is renowned for its fine detail, emotive content, and its representation of innocence and virtue in distress, themes that are characteristic of Greuze's work. It depicts a young girl in a state of distress, with a broken pitcher at her feet, symbolizing the loss of her virginity—a common metaphor in art of the period.

The painting is a prime example of Greuze's skill in portraying complex emotional narratives. The artist was known for his genre paintings that often carried moral messages, and "La cruche cassée" is no exception. It reflects the Enlightenment-era interest in moralizing tales and the didactic role of art. The girl's downcast eyes and the shattered pitcher serve as a visual cautionary tale about the consequences of lost innocence and the fragility of virtue.

Measuring 73 cm × 59 cm, the painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, having entered the collection before 1869. "La cruche cassée" has been widely discussed in art historical literature for its technical mastery and its place within the context of 18th-century French painting. Greuze's work bridges the gap between the Rococo style, characterized by its lightness and frivolity, and the more serious and didactic Neoclassicism that followed. The painting is often cited as an example of Greuze's contribution to the development of genre painting in France and his influence on the evolving artistic tastes of the period.
