"Calinerie" (A Little Coaxing) is an oil painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1890. Bouguereau, known for his classical and realistic style, was a prominent figure in the French academic painting world during the late 19th century. "Calinerie" is a quintessential example of his work, showcasing his skill in capturing the delicate features and innocence of childhood.

The painting depicts a young girl offering a gentle coaxing gesture, her eyes cast downwards with a tender expression. The subject's pose and the soft lighting exemplify Bouguereau's mastery of portraying the textures of skin and fabric, as well as his ability to convey subtle emotional nuances. The artwork's composition and the use of light and shadow are characteristic of Bouguereau's approach to idealized beauty and his focus on neoclassical themes.

"Calinerie" reflects the era's fascination with childhood innocence and the idealization of youth, themes that were prevalent in the broader context of Victorian art and literature. Bouguereau's paintings were widely appreciated during his lifetime for their technical precision and the emotional resonance they evoked. This particular work continues to be celebrated for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Bouguereau's contribution to the academic art tradition.

As with many of Bouguereau's paintings, "Calinerie" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been part of private and public collections. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who study the evolution of academic art and the portrayal of children in the visual arts. The painting is also frequently referenced in discussions about the intersection of art and societal ideals of the late 19th century.
