About the piece
Created in 1899, this work by William-Adolphe Bouguereau is a quintessential example of French Academic painting. The artist's signature smooth finish and idealized realism are on full display, contrasting the warm, sun-kissed skin of the subject with the cool, atmospheric purple of the distant mountain landscape.
