''Le Goûter'' (also known as ''The Snack'' or ''Little Girl Eating Porridge'') is an oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1895. Bouguereau, renowned for his realistic depiction of the human figure, often painted themes of idealized childhood and motherhood, and ''Le Goûter'' is a quintessential example of this aspect of his work. The painting portrays a young girl seated at a table, focused intently on eating her meal, which appears to be a bowl of porridge. The subject's innocence and the painting's serene atmosphere are characteristic of Bouguereau's style, which sought to capture the beauty and purity of his subjects.

Measuring 81.3 cm by 65.4 cm, ''Le Goûter'' is a testament to Bouguereau's technical skill and his ability to render textures and fabrics with lifelike precision. The softness of the girl's skin, the intricate details of her clothing, and the play of light on her face and the surrounding environment demonstrate the artist's mastery of light and shadow. Bouguereau's work was highly popular in the late 19th century, particularly among the French bourgeoisie and American collectors, who appreciated his traditional approach during a time of significant artistic change.

As part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, ''Le Goûter'' contributes to the understanding of the academic art movement and its values. While the artist's work fell out of favor with the advent of modernism and the changing tastes of the early 20th century, there has been a resurgence of interest in Bouguereau's paintings in recent decades, with ''Le Goûter'' often highlighted for its charm and technical prowess. The painting is frequently included in discussions of Bouguereau's impact on the art world and is considered an important piece within the broader context of 19th-century French painting.
