More about this artwork

William Bouguereau's 1903 masterpiece, "Au Bord De La Mer," portrays an evocative and serene moment at the seaside. In this exquisite painting, a young girl sits on a stone parapet, her gaze turned over her shoulder, meeting the viewer with a mixture of contemplation and gentle ease. The setting is subtly suggested by the distant line of the horizon and the calm blue sea which creates a background filled with a sense of tranquility and vast space.The girl, dressed in a simple white blouse with a blue skirt, is rendered with Bouguereau's signature attention to detail, from the delicate folds of her garments to the soft curls of her brunette hair, tied back with a simple blue ribbon. The soft light, probable of the late afternoon, delicately plays on her face and clothing, evoking a warm, peaceful atmosphere.Bouguereau's skill in capturing human expressions and the texture of fabrics shines in this painting, allowing viewers to feel a connection to the subject's youthful innocence and reflective mood.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau was a French academic painter. In paintings of the realistic genre, he used mythological themes, modern interpretation of classical themes, emphasizing the female human body. During his lifetime, he achieved great popularity in France and the United States, was awarded many official honors, and sold his works for top prices. In the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art disappeared from the public eye, partly due to its changing artistic tastes. A resurgence of interest in figurative painting in the 1980s led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. He completed 822 known paintings, but the whereabouts of many are still unknown.
