"The Clam Diggers" is a notable painting by the American landscape artist Thomas Worthington Whittredge (1820–1910), who was a prominent figure in the Hudson River School of painters. This work of art, created in 1865, is an oil on canvas that exemplifies Whittredge's transition from his earlier, more detailed style to a looser, impressionistic approach that he developed later in his career.

The painting depicts a serene coastal scene where figures are seen engaging in the task of clam digging, an activity common along the shores of the northeastern United States. The composition is balanced with a keen sense of naturalism, reflecting Whittredge's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and atmosphere, a hallmark of the Hudson River School aesthetic. "The Clam Diggers" is celebrated for its tranquil representation of everyday life and the American landscape, as well as its subtle commentary on the relationship between humans and nature.

As a work that captures a specific aspect of American life, "The Clam Diggers" also contributes to the genre of genre painting, which focuses on scenes of everyday activities. Whittredge's attention to the realistic portrayal of the figures and the landscape demonstrates his commitment to capturing the essence of the American spirit and the environment during the mid-19th century.

"The Clam Diggers" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance. It is an important piece within Whittredge's oeuvre, offering insight into the evolution of his style and the broader trends in American art during the period.
