"Vrouw met waterkan op dienblad" is a woodcut print created by Maurice Denis in 1892. The artwork depicts a woman, seen from the chest up, holding a tray with a water jug on it. The figure is rendered in a simplified, almost cartoon-like style characteristic of Denis's work. The background is a window overlooking a landscape, suggesting a domestic interior. The use of simplified lines and forms, and the focus on the figure's gesture, exemplifies the principles of the Nabis movement, to which Denis belonged. This movement, active in late 19th-century France, emphasized the expressive power of color and form over realism.
