"Les Oranges" is a painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1865. Bouguereau was renowned for his realistic portrayal of the human figure and his idealized depictions of classical and mythological themes. This particular work, however, diverges from his more well-known mythological and allegorical subjects, capturing a moment of everyday life with a focus on rural innocence and charm.

The painting depicts two young peasant girls in a serene, sunlit setting as they gather oranges into a wooden basket. The figures are rendered with Bouguereau's characteristic attention to detail and technical skill, their youthful skin and the textures of their clothing contrasting with the vibrant, lush oranges and the foliage around them. The composition and the use of light showcase Bouguereau's mastery of the academic painting style, with a harmonious balance between the figures and the landscape, and a soft, diffused light that enhances the idyllic quality of the scene.

"Les Oranges" reflects Bouguereau's interest in pastoral themes and his ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia for rural life, which was a popular subject in 19th-century French art. The painting is also indicative of the period's fascination with the innocence of childhood and the purity of rural existence, as opposed to the rapidly industrializing urban centers of the time.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Les Oranges" was well-received in his time for its technical proficiency and its embodiment of the academic art standards of beauty and refinement. Today, the painting is appreciated for its historical value as well as its aesthetic qualities, offering insight into the themes and techniques that dominated French art during the Second Empire and the later years of the 19th century. The painting is part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which continues to be studied and exhibited in art institutions around the world.
