The artwork, titled “Une petite fille,” was created by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in the year 1886. It belongs to the Academicism art movement and is categorized under the genre of portraits.
In this painting, a young girl is depicted in a classical style, characteristic of Bouguereau’s meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal. Her delicate face is framed by brown hair, and she wears a red ribbon as an accessory. The girl’s expression is contemplative and serene, with her gaze directed slightly to the side. She is dressed in a modest, light-colored garment with a white collar. The background is kept simple, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject’s face and subtle emotions. Bouguereau’s masterful use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, making her appear almost lifelike.
