"Brother and Sister" (French: "Frère et Sœur") is an oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1887. Bouguereau was renowned for his realistic portrayal of the human figure and his idealized depictions of classical themes, often imbued with a sense of purity and innocence. This painting is no exception, as it captures the tender relationship between a young boy and his little sister, set against a pastoral backdrop that was typical of Bouguereau's work.

The painting showcases Bouguereau's mastery of form and his ability to convey texture and emotion through his brushwork. The figures are rendered with a smooth, almost porcelain-like quality, a hallmark of Bouguereau's technique. The children are depicted with an angelic quality, their expressions serene and content, which reflects the artist's romanticized view of childhood and family.

"Brother and Sister" is emblematic of Bouguereau's style during the late 19th century, a period in which he enjoyed significant commercial success and critical acclaim, particularly among the French bourgeoisie. His work, however, would later be critiqued by avant-garde movements for its adherence to traditional techniques and its lack of innovation.

The painting is part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which includes more than 800 works. As with many of his paintings, "Brother and Sister" is characterized by its fine detail, clarity of form, and the smooth finish of the skin of his subjects. The artwork continues to be appreciated for its technical proficiency and its evocative representation of the innocence of youth.

"Brother and Sister" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau remains an important piece within the canon of academic art and offers insight into the 19th-century artistic conventions and societal values. It is held in private collections and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing discussion of Bouguereau's legacy in the history of Western art.
