About the piece

Created in 1905, this painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau is a hallmark of the French Academic style. The work showcases the artist's legendary ability to render delicate textures and porcelain-like skin tones, presenting a romanticized view of childhood innocence against a background of dappled foliage.
