Date: 1901

The painting shows a young woman sitting on a wooden chair holding a small child in her arms. The woman is wearing a long blue dress with a red belt and a white blouse with exposed shoulders. She is barefoot and appears to be in a domestic environment, perhaps a kitchen, where we see a basket of laundry and a white tablecloth or sheet behind her. The child she is holding is wearing a white shirt and eating an apple. There is a calm and domestic atmosphere in the painting.

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.
