The artwork, titled “Disdain,” was created by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1850. This piece is an oil painting on canvas, reflecting the Academicism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 55 x 56 cm, and it belongs to the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a woman in a thoughtful pose, with her head slightly turned to the side and her gaze cast downward, giving an impression of aloofness or indifference. She is draped in a white garment that appears to be slipping off her shoulders, revealing her bare skin. The subdued color palette and the soft rendering of her features emphasize a contemplative mood. The background is dark and unadorned, causing the figure to stand out prominently and drawing attention to her expression and posture.
