"Plums" (French: "Les Prunes") is an oil painting by the 19th-century French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1882. Known for his classical and realistic style, Bouguereau was a prominent figure in French academic painting, and his works often featured themes of idealized beauty, mythological subjects, and modern interpretations of classical motifs.

In "Plums," Bouguereau presents a genre scene, a departure from his more common mythological and allegorical subjects. The painting depicts a young girl in a rural setting, engaging directly with the viewer as she enjoys the simple pleasure of eating plums. The artwork is characterized by Bouguereau's signature attention to detail, delicate brushwork, and the soft, luminous quality of the subject's skin, which contrasts with the rich, dark tones of the plums and the background.

The painting is a fine example of Bouguereau's skill in capturing the innocence and serenity of childhood, as well as his ability to render textures and light with exquisite precision. "Plums" reflects the artist's academic training and his mastery of traditional techniques, while also offering insight into the everyday life and leisure activities of the period.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Plums" was well-received in his time, celebrated for its technical prowess and the charm of its subject matter. Today, the painting is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its place within the broader context of 19th-century French art, offering a window into the era's social norms, values, and tastes.

"Plums" is part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the academic art tradition and its influence on subsequent generations of artists. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing discourse on Bouguereau's legacy and the evolution of French art during the Second Empire and the early Third Republic.
