"The Broken Pitcher" (French: "La Cruche cassée") is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, completed in 1771. The artwork is renowned for its fine execution and its embodiment of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during the mid-18th century. Greuze was known for his genre paintings and for his ability to capture the moral narratives and sentimental themes of his time, often depicting scenes of domestic life that carried a moral lesson.

The painting portrays a young girl who appears to be in a state of distress, with a broken pitcher at her feet, symbolizing lost innocence and virtue. The girl's downcast eyes and disheveled clothing suggest a narrative of seduction and subsequent remorse. Greuze's work is characterized by its emotional depth and the detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, which add to the overall pathos of the scene.

"The Broken Pitcher" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its ability to convey complex emotional states through subtle gestures and expressions. The painting is also notable for its social commentary, as Greuze often used his art to critique the moral laxity he perceived in French society. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.

As a work that exemplifies Greuze's skill in combining moral storytelling with Rococo aesthetics, "The Broken Pitcher" remains an important piece within the canon of 18th-century French painting. It is frequently discussed in art historical literature for its narrative approach to genre painting and its reflection of the cultural and moral attitudes of the period.
