"A Water Carrier" is an oil painting by French artist Jean Raymond Hippolyte Lazerges, created in the 19th century. Lazerges, born in 1817 in Narbonne and passing in 1887, was a prolific painter and composer known for his Orientalist subjects and historical scenes. This particular work exemplifies the Orientalist trend in European art, where Western artists depicted scenes from the Middle East and North Africa, often romanticizing and exoticizing the cultures and people.

The painting portrays a figure, presumably from a North African context, engaged in the humble task of carrying water. The water carrier, a common motif in Orientalist art, is often used to symbolize the daily life and labor in these exotic locales as imagined by European artists. Lazerges' attention to detail in the figure's attire and the surrounding environment reflects a fascination with the foreign and serves as a document of the cultural perceptions of the time.

"A Water Carrier" by Lazerges is significant for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact. It offers insight into the 19th-century European gaze upon the 'Orient,' contributing to the broader discourse on Orientalism and colonial attitudes. The painting is also an example of Lazerges' skill in capturing the human form and his ability to convey narrative through his work. While the exact date of creation, current location, and ownership of the painting may not be well-documented, "A Water Carrier" remains an important piece within Lazerges' oeuvre and the genre of Orientalist painting.
