''La Gouvernante'' (The Governess) is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, completed in 1739. This work is one of Chardin's genre paintings, which depict scenes of domestic life during the 18th century with an emphasis on the quiet dignity of ordinary people. ''La Gouvernante'' is particularly notable for its intimate portrayal of a household scene, where a governess is seen interacting with a child in an interior setting.

The painting is characterized by Chardin's masterful use of light and texture, which imbues the scene with a sense of calm and solidity. The governess, dressed in modest attire, is depicted in a moment of instruction or gentle reprimand, emphasizing the educational and moral responsibilities of her role within the family structure. The child, whose attention is directed towards the governess, symbolizes the innocence and malleability of youth, and the importance of guidance in the formative years.

Chardin's work is often praised for its realistic representation and the emotional depth he brings to everyday life. ''La Gouvernante'' exemplifies these qualities, offering a window into the private lives of the 18th-century French middle class. The painting's composition, with its careful arrangement of figures and objects, reflects Chardin's attention to balance and harmony, while also conveying a narrative that resonates with the viewer.

''La Gouvernante'' is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre painting tradition and is considered an important work within Chardin's oeuvre. The painting is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
