William-Adolphe Bouguereau 1825-1905 | French La fille du pêcheur (The Fisherman’s Daughter) Signed and dated “W-Bouguereau-1882” (middle right) Oil on canvas William Bouguereau's influence on 19th-century art is profound, earning him a cherished place in the French Academy. His frequent exhibitions at the Paris Salon led to the event being colloquially known as “Le Salon Bouguereau.” Among his numerous masterpieces, La fille du pêcheurstands out as an extraordinary work, epitomizing both the simplicity of life and the grandeur inherent in Bouguereau’s oeuvre. Bouguereau’s unparalleled ability to depict the moods and personalities of his subjects within classical settings is evident in this work. Influenced by the great Neoclassical artist Ingres, Bouguereau’s technique demonstrates an exceptional degree of finish and luminous coloration, characteristics of his prestigious education at the École Royale des Beaux-Arts. His portraits, especially those of peasant women and children, are among his most cherished works, with La fille du pêcheur being a particularly exquisite example. In this composition, a young girl stands against a historic column with a picturesque fishing village as her backdrop. Captured at the height of summer and her youthful vigor, she holds a basket, likely for collecting fish or other goods. Her gaze is both entrancing and coy, suggesting a moment of pure adolescent liveliness, possibly interrupted while running an errand. The intricate rendering of her dress and radiant skin, combined with her confident pose, imbues the subject with a vitality that seems to leap off the canvas. Bouguereau’s works are immensely popular among collectors worldwide and can be found in prestigious collections such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the New Orleans Museum of Art. La fille du pêcheur is included in the Bouguereau catalogue raisonné as 1882/06.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau 1825-1905 | French Au bord du ruisseau Signed and dated “W-Bouguereau-1888” (upper left) Oil on Canvas “Bouguereau’s paintings of children allowed for the expression of values that formed, for the painter, the very heart of his philosophy of life.“ - Gilles Chazal, ‘The Art of Bouguereau,’ 1984-1985 This enchanting work, painted by the majorly successful William-Adoplhe Bouguereau, depicts his favored subject from the second half of his career: young women at ease in nature. This work, entitled Au bord du ruisseau, masterfully captures the subtle curiosity in the child's expressive eyes. It is this charming subject that charted his rise to one of the most celebrated and important painters in French Academy history. In the painting, a young girl rests on the sandy banks of a river. Just having removed her bright red stockings, which lay carelessly crumpled in a pile to her left, she meets the eyes of the viewer. Her slightly flushed cheeks contrast the softness of her pale skin, emphasizing the beauty that comes with youth. In addition to his skill at rendering the human figure, Bouguereau also demonstrates his expertise in depicting botanical figures. The rocky outcrop contrasts the sharpness of the bulrush (typha latifolia) sprouting out from the sand. Although the impossibly smooth brushwork erases Bouguereau’s hand, his technical mastery of the scene is undeniable in the varying textures of her soft skin, the coarse linen of her dress and the crisp foliage behind her. Internationally famous for his skill as a draftsman and painter of religious imagery, Bouguereau transitioned into painting genre subjects by the mid-1870s. Always keenly aware of what was trending with the art-buying public, Bourguerau became inspired by a broad cultural shift and the many summers spent in his childhood village, La Rochelle. In 1882, Bouguereau purchased a summer retreat in La Rochelle, allowing him to paint local models en plein air before finishing his canvases in Paris. Unlike other artists in the 19th century who documented the arduous lives of peasants toiling in the French countryside, such as Jean-Francois Millet, Bouguereau romanticized them. The wonderment of a childhood spent in nature, running wild and free, is celebrated across Bouguereau's oeuvre, making him an exceptional commercial success in his day. Collectors on both sides of the Atlantic had to wait two to three years to purchase one of his prized paintings. In the 19th century, no American collection would have been complete without a portrait by the French Academic master. Today, his works reside in prestigious museum collections such as the Musée d'Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum.
