About the Artwork

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) was a French academic painter and a leading figure of the classical tradition. He was known for his highly refined, naturalistic style, often depicting mythological, allegorical, and genre scenes with a meticulous finish. Le Travail interrompu (Work Interrupted) (1891) is a charming genre scene that showcases Bouguereau's technical mastery and his love for idealized beauty. The painting portrays a young, graceful peasant girl who has momentarily paused her work, her serene pose and gentle expression creating a sense of timeless elegance.
