Painting Description
''Pâquerettes'' (Daisies) is an oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1894. Known for his realistic genre paintings and mythological themes, Bouguereau was a prominent figure in the French Academy during the late 19th century. His work often reflects a romanticized, idealized interpretation of the human form, particularly that of women and children, which is evident in ''Pâquerettes''.
The painting depicts a young woman lying in a field of daisies, a common symbol of innocence and purity. She is portrayed with a serene expression, her gaze directed away from the viewer, as if lost in contemplation or daydream. The subject's delicate features and the soft, diffused lighting are characteristic of Bouguereau's style, which sought to achieve perfection in the depiction of human beauty.
Measuring 18 1/8 x 22 inches (46 x 56 cm), ''Pâquerettes'' is a relatively small work within Bouguereau's oeuvre. The artist's meticulous brushwork is evident in the fine details of the subject's attire and the texture of the daisies surrounding her. The composition's close focus on the figure, along with the use of a shallow depth of field, draws the viewer's attention to the emotional and aesthetic center of the piece—the young woman herself.
''Pâquerettes'' is emblematic of Bouguereau's artistic philosophy, which favored traditional techniques and subjects over the emerging avant-garde movements of his time, such as Impressionism. His paintings were highly popular among the French bourgeoisie and American collectors during his lifetime, though his reputation waned in the early 20th century with the rise of Modernism. However, Bouguereau's technical skill and the enduring appeal of his works have contributed to a resurgence of interest in his art in recent decades.
The painting is part of a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Bouguereau's contribution to 19th-century French art. As with many of Bouguereau's pieces, ''Pâquerettes'' continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of the artist's career and the art historical period in which he worked.
