These two portraits of the same young person, quite probably a gypsy girl, evidence in their many qualities the top professional maturity Bouguereau had reached by the time he painted them - not to mention the exquisitely accomplished backgrounds that add a sort of magical atmosphere to each.

(also known as Girl Going to the Spring)

William Bouguereau - Meditation
(oil on canvas, 1885)

Right you are Sozian.
The dirt mounds on the side of the Water girl look like you could dig a hole in them and plant something!

If you were offered in property one, only one, of these three portraits of peasant girls by Bouguereau, which would you choose? I would be at a loss myself, so beautiful they all are. I would probably choose the one at the bottom, which happens to be the best known of all three. And yet...


William Bouguereau - The Knitter
(oil on canvas, 1886)


William Bouguereau - Petite bergere
('Little Shepherdess')
(oil on canvas, 1889)


William Bouguereau - Pastourelle
('The Little Shepherdess')
(oil on canvas, 1889)
