"Prayer" is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1865. Bouguereau was a traditionalist whose realistic genre paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of classical subjects, both pagan and Christian, with a concentration on the female human body. His works were characterized by a highly polished finish, technical skill, and a penchant for capturing his subjects in serene and often idealized settings.

The painting "Prayer" depicts a young girl in a moment of devout contemplation or prayer. She is typically rendered with Bouguereau's skillful use of light and shadow, which gives her form a three-dimensional quality and enhances the spiritual atmosphere of the scene. The subject's pose and expression convey a sense of innocence and piety, themes that were recurrent in Bouguereau's oeuvre and reflective of the broader 19th-century academic art movement.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Prayer" is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the smooth, almost imperceptible brushwork. The artist's dedication to the classical techniques of the old masters is evident in the painting's composition and execution, which exemplify the standards of the French Academy at the time.

"Prayer" is part of Bouguereau's extensive body of work, which remained popular throughout his lifetime, especially among American collectors and patrons. However, his reputation waned with the advent of modernist movements in the early 20th century, which rejected the academic standards that Bouguereau so ardently embraced. Despite this, his work has seen a resurgence in appreciation since the late 20th century, and "Prayer" stands as a testament to Bouguereau's enduring appeal and his mastery of the academic painting tradition.
