"A La Fontaine" (At the Fountain) is an oil painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1897. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in the French academic painting world during the late 19th century, known for his classical themes and virtuosic technique. "A La Fontaine" is a quintessential example of Bouguereau's work, showcasing his ability to capture the delicate interplay of light and shadow, as well as his skill in rendering the human figure with lifelike precision and idealized beauty.

The painting depicts a young girl, rendered with Bouguereau's characteristic smooth brushwork, as she pauses at a fountain in a tranquil, pastoral setting. The figure is often noted for her serene expression and the sense of innocence she conveys, which is a recurring theme in Bouguereau's oeuvre. The composition's focus on the purity of youth and the idyllic landscape reflects the artist's adherence to themes of classicism and his resistance to the emerging impressionist movement that was gaining momentum during his lifetime.

Measuring 62.23 inches by 34.25 inches, "A La Fontaine" is a testament to Bouguereau's academic training and his mastery of traditional painting techniques. The work is celebrated for its refined aesthetic and the artist's attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the girl's delicate features and the textures of her clothing and the natural environment surrounding her.

"A La Fontaine" is part of Bouguereau's extensive body of work that includes more than 800 paintings. His art enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime, particularly among the French bourgeoisie and American collectors, although it fell out of favor with the advent of modernist movements in the early 20th century. In recent decades, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in Bouguereau's work, and "A La Fontaine" remains a significant piece within the canon of academic art, appreciated for its technical prowess and its embodiment of the era's artistic values.
