"A Naked Girl Posed as a Water-Nymph" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was renowned for his genre paintings and portraiture that often carried moralistic overtones. This particular work, less didactic than many of Greuze's paintings, depicts a young female figure in a sensuous pose, embodying the characteristics of a water nymph, a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden inhabiting rivers or woods.

The painting showcases Greuze's skill in rendering the softness of flesh and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which gives the subject a lifelike presence. The nymph's nudity is presented with an idealized elegance that was typical of the Rococo style, prevalent during the early part of Greuze's career, yet her expression and the intimate setting also anticipate the more sentimental and domestic themes of the emerging Neoclassical movement.

As with many of Greuze's works, "A Naked Girl Posed as a Water-Nymph" reflects the artist's interest in the emotional and moral life of his subjects, even when drawing on mythological themes. The painting is significant for its blend of eroticism and innocence, capturing the transitional period of art in which Greuze was working. While the exact date of creation is not well-documented, the painting is consistent with Greuze's artistic output in the mid-to-late 18th century.

The painting is also notable for its contribution to the image of the femme fatale in art history, as water nymphs often symbolized dangerous seduction, a theme that would be explored more extensively in the Symbolist movement of the late 19th century. "A Naked Girl Posed as a Water-Nymph" remains an important work for understanding the evolution of French painting and the representation of mythological subjects during the Age of Enlightenment.
