"Le Retour du Marché" (English: "Return from the Market") is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1866. Bouguereau, renowned for his realistic portrayal of the human figure, was a dominant figure in French academic painting during the second half of the 19th century. This work is an example of his skill in capturing everyday life with a sense of idealized beauty, which was characteristic of his style.

The painting depicts a rural scene where a young peasant woman is returning from the market. She is shown carrying a basket, presumably filled with goods acquired at the market, and is accompanied by two young children who appear to be tired from the journey. The figures are set against a landscape that suggests the simplicity and the hardships of rural life, yet Bouguereau's technique imbues the scene with a sense of grace and serenity.

"Le Retour du Marché" is emblematic of Bouguereau's work during a period when he was highly celebrated for his craftsmanship and attention to detail. His paintings often focused on themes of rural life, childhood, and motherhood, portraying them with an idealism that appealed to the tastes of the bourgeois patrons of the era. Bouguereau's art was characterized by his polished technique, which included the use of smooth brushwork and a palette that favored soft, warm hues.

While Bouguereau's popularity waned with the advent of modernist movements that rejected academic art's strictures, his work has since experienced a resurgence in appreciation. "Le Retour du Marché" is held in a private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its technical proficiency and its representation of 19th-century French pastoral life. The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's enduring legacy as a master of the academic tradition and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with elegance and emotional depth.
