More about this artwork

William Bouguereau's "La Tasse De Lait" from 1879, is a captivating representation of childhood innocence, a theme the artist explored throughout his career with exceptional detail and sensitivity. The painting features a young child seated outdoors, clutching a large cup decorated with delicate blue flowers. The child's gaze, slightly averted from the viewer, and the soft, rosy cheeks offer an intimate glimpse into a moment of simple pleasure and contemplation.The background landscape, featuring a hint of mountains and sky, suggests a pastoral setting that harmonizes with the theme of natural purity. Bouguereau's use of light emphasizes the smooth, delicate skin of the child and the texture of the flowing garment, which drapes over the child's body gently."La Tasse De Lait" not only showcases Bouguereau's skill in rendering human anatomy and using light to evoke softness but also highlights his ability to capture the soul of his subjects through expression and posture.

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.
