	Okay and I just happen to know you are right Joyce, since I too have seen a host of teenagers... though long ago of course: my own two sisters and her friends, all of them pretending to be femmes fatales. Quote: Oh I'm sure you're right Miguel. I've just seen my share of teenagers (it's rumoured that I even was one) Lol.

	Dear friends, here and in the next few posts I will try and show a few of Bouguereaus's best favorites of mine produced in the last years of that magical decade of 1860-70. Some are pretty well-known, others not. First off, this adorable portrait of the smiling girl contemplating a little bird. William Bouguereau - Tete d'Etude l'Oiseau (oil on canvas, 1867)

	Not many are familiar with this endearing portrait of a young girl and child. The drawing is awesome, the color sublime. Few can resist the look in their eyes. William Bouguereau - Young Girl and Child (oil on canvas, 1868)

	Here is another well-known Bouguereau's favorite. Painted in 1869, it has long captivated serious art lovers for its amazing qualities, and will surely keep doing so for long. William Bouguereau - Le Crab (oil on canvas, 1869)

	Last but not least in this prodigious decade, one of the most exquisite master works in William Bouguereau's overall production: his unrivaled 'Maternal Admiration' painted in the same year 1869. William Bouguereau - Maternal Admiration (oil on canvas, 1869)
