Signed, lower right: Wm Bouguereau Provenance: with Galerie Percier, Paris with Galerie Drouant-David, Paris Private Collection, Chicago Bouguereau was the preeminent academic painter of the nineteenth century and one of the most celebrated artists of his day. Changes in taste caused him to fall out of popular favor for much of the twentieth century, but in the last fifty years appreciation of the artist, at times passionate, has brought about a revival both critical and commercial. Today his work is prized by collectors and museums and serves as a paragon for figurative artists worldwide. Famously prolific, Bouguereau painted over eight hundred finished works. He would develop his compositions from drawings, then proceed to oil studies from models, before approaching the full-size canvas. His drawings were predominantly made with graphite and white or black chalk, with the occasional use of watercolor and gouache. Pastel, as seen in the present work, was not part of his normal creative process and is found only in two other works in the artist’s output: an unelaborated color study dated 1848 for his Saint Peter After his Delivery from Prison by the Angel and a preparatory sketch (Private Collection) for his Zenobia found by Shepherds on the Banks of the Araxes (Musée d’Orsay, Paris).
