"Daughter of the Fisherman" (French: "Fille de Pêcheur") is an 1872 oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Known for his classical and realist style, Bouguereau was a prolific painter whose works often depicted idealized and mythological themes, as well as realistic portrayals of rural life in France. This particular painting is a testament to Bouguereau's skill in capturing the delicate nuances of human expression and the intricate play of light on skin and fabric.

The painting portrays a young girl, presumably the daughter of a fisherman, gazing directly at the viewer with an expression that is both serene and contemplative. Her clothing is simple, reflecting her modest upbringing, yet rendered with meticulous attention to detail and texture, a hallmark of Bouguereau's technique. The background suggests a coastal setting, which is appropriate for the subject matter and adds to the narrative context of the painting.

"Daughter of the Fisherman" is characteristic of Bouguereau's work during the 1870s, a period in which he enjoyed significant success and recognition in the Paris Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His paintings from this era often feature young women and girls in pastoral or domestic settings, capturing moments of innocence and the idyllic aspects of country life.

As with many of Bouguereau's paintings, "Daughter of the Fisherman" is notable for its photographic realism and the artist's virtuosic handling of the human form. The painting's composition, the soft modeling of the figure, and the nuanced use of color and light reflect Bouguereau's mastery of traditional painting techniques and his dedication to the standards of academic art.

Today, "Daughter of the Fisherman" is appreciated not only as a work of aesthetic beauty but also as an example of the 19th-century academic art movement. It continues to be studied for its technical proficiency and its place within the broader context of Bouguereau's oeuvre and the art historical period in which it was created. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing interest in and reassessment of Bouguereau's artistic legacy.
