" Little Girl " by William-Adolphe Bouguereau on

Bouguereau was a master of portraiture, retaining the sitter's likeness, but beautifying the skin, features and colors; in this work he is showcasing the glowing sweetness and spirituality of the little girl, her large dark blue eyes and the perfection of her sweet clasped hands. French artist Bouguereau, was considered an Academic and traditionalist with modern interpretations of classical and mythological subjects. As a teacher, frescoesist and draftsman Bouguereau opened art to women and held coed classes. Popular with Victorian patrons in France and the United States, few could match Bouguereau's realistic figures touched with idealism. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand.
