"Letoile Perdue" (The Lost Pleiad) is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1884. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in French academic painting during the late 19th century, known for his classical themes and virtuosic technique. The painting depicts a mythological subject drawn from the ancient Greek legend of the Pleiades, the seven daughters of the titan Atlas and the sea-nymph Pleione, who were placed among the stars by Zeus to save them from the pursuit of the hunter Orion.

In "Letoile Perdue," Bouguereau captures the moment of sorrow and solitude experienced by one of these celestial sisters, who is traditionally identified as Merope. She is the Pleiad who is said to have hidden her face in shame for having married a mortal. Bouguereau's interpretation of the theme is characterized by his signature style, which combines a highly polished technique with an idealized and romantic portrayal of the figure. The painting is notable for its ethereal quality and the delicate rendering of the Pleiad's expression, as well as the use of light and shadow to enhance the sense of depth and the three-dimensionality of the form.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Letoile Perdue" reflects the artist's fascination with classical mythology and his ability to convey complex emotions through his art. The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's skill in composition and his mastery of the academic painting tradition, which emphasized beauty, narrative clarity, and technical precision. "Letoile Perdue" remains an important example of Bouguereau's oeuvre and of the broader 19th-century academic art movement, which would eventually give way to the various modernist movements of the early 20th century.
