"La Bourrique" is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1884. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in French academic painting during the 19th century, known for his classical themes and technically brilliant execution. The painting, whose title translates to "The Donkey Ride" in English, depicts a rural scene in which a young girl is perched playfully atop a donkey, being led by an elderly woman. The work is characteristic of Bouguereau's style, with its lifelike figures, meticulous attention to detail, and idealized portrayal of peasant life.

Measuring 130 x 97 cm, "La Bourrique" is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of the human form and his ability to capture the innocence and simplicity of country living. The painting's composition is balanced and harmonious, with a soft, diffused light that enhances the tender interaction between the characters. The artist's use of color and texture brings a sense of realism to the scene, while also evoking a sense of nostalgia for a pastoral way of life.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "La Bourrique" reflects the academic art tradition of the time, which emphasized beauty, technical skill, and historical or mythological subjects. However, Bouguereau also had a keen interest in the everyday lives of the French peasantry, which he portrayed with sentimentality and idealism. This painting is an example of how he combined his academic training with his personal interest in the rural classes to create works that appealed to a wide audience.

"La Bourrique" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art shows, contributing to the understanding of Bouguereau's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French painting. The work continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of the themes and techniques prevalent in the art of the Second French Empire and the early Third Republic.
