"Le Citron" (The Lemon) is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1899. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in French academic painting during the late 19th century, known for his classical themes and technically virtuosic style. His work often featured mythological subjects, as well as realistic portrayals of rural life and the female form. "Le Citron" is a testament to Bouguereau's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and texture, as well as his ability to render the human figure with lifelike precision.

The painting depicts a young woman in a rural setting, holding a lemon delicately between her fingers. The subject's gaze is directed away from the viewer, creating a sense of introspection and quietude. Bouguereau's use of soft, diffused lighting enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, while the meticulous detail with which he paints the lemon and the woman's attire demonstrates his commitment to realism.

"Le Citron" is characteristic of Bouguereau's later works, which often focused on the simplicity and innocence of peasant life, contrasting with the more grandiose and idealized subjects of his earlier career. The painting's composition and the tender representation of its subject reflect the artist's continued adherence to the academic tradition, even as the art world around him was increasingly embracing modernist movements.

As a notable work within Bouguereau's oeuvre, "Le Citron" continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery and its embodiment of the 19th-century academic aesthetic. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing discussion of Bouguereau's legacy and the broader history of French academic art.
