The artwork titled “Snack In The Fields” by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1891 in France, is an oil painting on canvas measuring 93 x 66 cm. It belongs to the Academicism art movement and is categorized under the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a young girl standing outdoors in a natural setting, holding a piece of bread, presumably taking a snack break from work in the fields. The girl’s demeanor is serene and her slight smile adds a sense of innocence and contentment. She is dressed in simple peasant attire: a white blouse under a brown bodice, and a grey dress with pockets. The background showcases verdant foliage and an open sky, rendered with Bouguereau’s characteristic attention to detail and realistic style. This vibrant representation highlights Bouguereau’s mastery in capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow, making the subject appear vividly lifelike.
