The picture depicts a romantic scene of two girls outdoors on a sunny day. The older girl, standing and dressed in a dress with a grey bodice and a blue ribbon in her hair, is pouring water from a large green watering can into a stone vessel into which the younger girl, kneeling barefoot and dressed in a long-sleeved white dress, is peering curiously.

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.
