''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 portrayal of human figures, particularly of women and children, was a dominant figure in French academic painting during the late 19th century. ''Le Goûter'' is a testament to his skill in capturing the innocence and serenity of childhood.

The painting depicts a young girl seated at a table, enjoying a simple meal of porridge. She is dressed in peasant clothing, suggesting a theme of rural life and the virtue of simplicity. The child's gaze is directed downward at her meal, and her expression is one of quiet contentment. Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the texture of the food, the fabric of the girl's clothing, and the softness of her skin. The use of lighting accentuates the form and innocence of the child, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

''Le Goûter'' is characteristic of Bouguereau's work, which often idealized the human form and presented an idyllic view of rural life. His paintings were highly popular during his lifetime, particularly among the French bourgeoisie, for their beauty and technical precision. However, Bouguereau's style fell out of favor with the advent of modernist movements that sought to break from traditional academic art.

Today, ''Le Goûter'' is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Bouguereau's artistry. The painting is part of a larger body of work that has been re-evaluated by art historians and critics, leading to a renewed interest in Bouguereau and his contributions to 19th-century French art. ''Le Goûter'' remains a significant piece within Bouguereau's oeuvre, reflecting the enduring themes of childhood and the everyday life that he so skillfully immortalized on canvas.
