	Quote: I love the happy little faces, very natural. Do you think the sad faces were requested by the artists? These girls are not too young to respond to "make a sad face for me". That is a good question. No, I am afraid the sad faces are very real here.

	Hmmmm. On second thought, they do look like they are the same girls as you suggest, both the 'rich' and the 'poor' ones.

	Despite its exquisiteness, the below gem of a painting is not very known among other works of Bouguereau to appear in those years. On the other hand, it bears strong resemblance with Rest in Harvest of 1885 (here in page 6). William Bouguereau - The Rest (also known as Jeune fille couchée) (oil on canvas, 1880)

	By comparison, this other charming master work is pretty well known by all sorts of people, both the common and the learned ones, and one of Bouguereau's best favorite paintings of all times. William Bouguereau - Young Girl Defending Herself Against Eros (oil on canvas, 1880)
