"Les Prunes" (English: "Plums") is an oil painting by the 19th-century French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1859. Bouguereau, renowned for his realistic genre paintings and mythological themes, often depicted the human form with a polished clarity reminiscent of the old masters. This particular work exemplifies Bouguereau's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and texture, as well as his attention to detail and composition.

The painting portrays a young peasant girl seated in a pastoral landscape, a common subject for Bouguereau, who frequently depicted rural life and children. She is shown with a basket of plums at her side, suggesting a moment of rest from fruit picking. The girl's contemplative gaze and the serene setting evoke a sense of peacefulness and the simple pleasures of country life.

Measuring 55.9 by 45.7 centimeters, "Les Prunes" is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of the academic painting style, which was dominant in French art during the mid-19th century. His work was characterized by its fine finish and photographic realism, which appealed to the tastes of the conservative French Academy and the bourgeoisie, even as the Impressionist movement began to challenge the academic tradition.

"Les Prunes" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Bouguereau's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French painting. The artwork continues to be appreciated for its technical excellence and its representation of idyllic rural life, capturing a moment in time with both emotional depth and aesthetic beauty.
