"Le Gué" (The Ford) is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1875. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in 19th-century French academic painting, known for his classical themes and technically masterful portrayal of the human figure. "Le Gué" is an example of his skill in capturing the idyllic and pastoral scenes that were popular among the French bourgeoisie during his time.

The painting depicts a serene natural landscape in which a group of peasant women and children are crossing a shallow river or ford. The figures are rendered with Bouguereau's characteristic attention to detail and smooth finish, which contribute to the lifelike and idealized representation of the subjects. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye across the canvas, while the play of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the forms.

"Le Gué" reflects Bouguereau's academic training and adherence to traditional artistic principles, which included a focus on beauty, harmony, and the perfection of form. His work was celebrated in his time for its visual appeal and technical proficiency, although it later faced criticism from avant-garde movements that sought to challenge the conventions of academic art.

The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's popularity during the late 19th century and his role in the continuation of classical art traditions in the face of emerging modernist trends. "Le Gué" remains an important work within Bouguereau's oeuvre, exemplifying the qualities that made him a successful and sought-after artist in his day.
