The artwork is a representation of rural life in France, depicting peasant women in the town of Douarnenez, Brittany, as they gather around a fountain or well, a common motif in Breton's oeuvre. Known for his realist and naturalist paintings, Jules Breton was deeply inspired by the French countryside and its inhabitants, often portraying them with a sense of dignity and poetic grace.

The painting showcases Breton's skill in capturing the nuances of light and atmosphere, as well as his attention to detail in the depiction of traditional clothing and daily activities. "A La Fontaine; Douarnenez" is emblematic of the artist's commitment to portraying the rural working class with empathy and respect, a theme that resonated with audiences during the 19th century and contributed to his popularity.

Jules Breton's work is often associated with the Barbizon School, a group of artists who eschewed the formalism of academic painting in favor of naturalistic and plein-air scenes. While not an official member, Breton shared many of the school's ideals and techniques. "A La Fontaine; Douarnenez" exemplifies this influence through its realistic portrayal of peasant life and the landscape that surrounds it.
