"Water Carriers" (French: "Les Porteuses d'Eau") is a painting by the French artist Jules Breton, created in 1866. This work is one of Breton's many depictions of peasant life in 19th-century France, showcasing his interest in the rural customs and the daily lives of agricultural workers. The painting is a testament to Breton's skill in capturing the dignity and grace of his subjects, often idealizing their labor in a way that resonates with the Realist movement of the time.

In "Water Carriers," Breton portrays two young peasant women in the act of carrying water, a task that was a common and essential part of rural life. The figures are depicted with a sense of nobility and serenity, set against a landscape that emphasizes the harmony between humans and nature. Breton's use of lighting and color enhances the tranquility of the scene, with the soft glow of the setting or rising sun casting a warm light on the women and their surroundings.

The painting is notable for its attention to detail and the artist's ability to convey texture and material, from the women's clothing to the earthenware vessels they carry. Breton's work reflects his academic training and his mastery of technique, while also embodying the ethos of the Barbizon School, with its focus on the French countryside and peasant subjects.

"Water Carriers" is a significant example of Jules Breton's oeuvre, encapsulating the themes of work, rural life, and the beauty of the mundane that characterize much of his art. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the social history of rural France during the 19th century. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the genre of peasant genre painting and its place within the broader context of 19th-century European art.
