The painting depicts a young woman in an antique white robe sitting on a stone wall. Around her are three figures of cupids with wings that appear to be playing with her hair, and one figure whispers in her ear. The woman has dark hair, braided into a hairstyle, and wears a gold bracelet on her leg. A piece of antique style architecture can be seen in the background and a dark ceramic vessel stands next to her.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). French academic painter. In his choice of topics, he was a traditionalist: he painted mythological scenes and modern interpretations of Classicist themes (with an emphasis on painting the female body). Bouguereau admired Raphael, and even gave him one of his paintings. In his time, he was considered one of the finest painters, even abroad. At the end of his career, his paintings began to seem too traditionalist, with techniques embedded in the past. In some encyclopaedias, his name even ceased to appear. To date, however, we can consider some of his works beautiful and inspiring.
