"The Broken Jug" (French: "La Cruche cassée") is a notable oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1771. It is considered one of Greuze's most significant works and exemplifies his talent for combining genre painting with moralistic storytelling. The painting depicts a young girl in a state of distress, with a broken jug at her feet, symbolizing the loss of her virginity—a common metaphor in 18th-century art. The girl's downcast eyes and the shattered vessel convey a narrative of innocence corrupted, a theme that Greuze frequently explored in his work.

Measuring 73 cm × 59 cm, the painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Greuze's work is often noted for its emotional depth and the artist's skill in rendering the textures and details of the subjects he painted. "The Broken Jug" is particularly admired for its fine execution, the delicate portrayal of the girl's expression, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.

Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805) was a prominent French painter of the 18th century, known for his genre scenes and for his influence on the development of moralistic and sentimental narratives in art. His works often depicted domestic scenes, children, and young women, imbued with a moral or didactic message. "The Broken Jug" stands out as a prime example of Greuze's artistry and his ability to evoke complex emotions through his portrayal of seemingly simple scenes. The painting has been widely discussed in art historical literature and remains an important work for understanding the social mores and artistic trends of the period.
