''La Gouvernante'' (The Governess) is a genre painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, completed in 1739. This work is an exemplar of Chardin's mastery in depicting domestic scenes with profound simplicity and insight into the human condition. The painting is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France, and remains one of Chardin's most celebrated works.

The painting portrays a domestic scene in which a governess is attending to her duties. She is depicted in a moment of quiet authority, overseeing a young boy who appears to be focused on his meal. The composition reflects Chardin's ability to capture the textures and subtleties of everyday life, from the softness of the fabrics to the reflective surfaces of the tableware. The use of light and shadow, as well as the muted color palette, are characteristic of Chardin's style and contribute to the serene atmosphere of the scene.

''La Gouvernante'' is often noted for its representation of the values and social structures of 18th-century French society, particularly in relation to the roles of women and domestic servants. The painting's attention to detail and the dignified portrayal of its subjects have led to its recognition as a significant work in the history of French art. It has been analyzed for its commentary on gender roles, the nature of servitude, and the intimate portrayal of private life during the period.

Chardin's work was influential in his time and continues to be studied for its technical proficiency and its quiet yet powerful commentary on the human experience. ''La Gouvernante'' stands as a testament to Chardin's skill in elevating the genre of still life and domestic scenes to a level of fine art that resonates with viewers for its realism and emotional depth.
