"La Petite Tricoteuse" (The Little Knitter) is an oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1882. Bouguereau, renowned for his realistic genre paintings and mythological themes, often depicted idealized female figures in pastoral or domestic settings. This painting continues in that tradition, showcasing a young girl engrossed in the act of knitting, a common theme that reflects the virtues of diligence and domesticity.

The artwork is characteristic of Bouguereau's fine brushwork and attention to detail, particularly evident in the rendering of the girl's delicate features and the texture of the yarn and fabric. The subject is portrayed with a sense of serenity and concentration, typical of Bouguereau's depictions of peasant children, which tend to romanticize and beautify the simplicity of rural life.

"La Petite Tricoteuse" is a testament to Bouguereau's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and his ability to imbue everyday scenes with a sense of grace and elegance. The painting is part of a larger body of work that contributed to Bouguereau's popularity during the late 19th century, a period marked by a preference for academic art and its polished aesthetic.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "La Petite Tricoteuse" was well-received in its time, appealing to the tastes of the bourgeoisie who favored his classical approach and idealized subjects. Today, the painting is appreciated for its technical mastery and as an example of the academic art movement, which has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years. The painting is held in a private collection, and it continues to be exhibited and studied as an important piece of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre.
