"Rest" (French: "Le Repos") is an 1879 oil on canvas painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Known for his classical and mythological subjects, Bouguereau's work epitomizes the academic art movement of the late 19th century, characterized by its technical precision, realistic portrayal of the human figure, and often sentimental themes.

The painting "Rest" depicts a serene moment of repose, featuring a young mother and her children in a pastoral setting. The central figure, a woman, is shown reclining gracefully with an infant in her arms, while her other children rest or play quietly around her. The composition is harmonious and balanced, with Bouguereau's signature attention to detail evident in the delicate rendering of the figures' skin and the soft, flowing drapery of their clothing.

Bouguereau's work was highly popular during his lifetime, particularly among the French bourgeoisie and American collectors, who appreciated his idealized visions of beauty and motherhood. "Rest" exemplifies the artist's ability to capture the idyllic and the tranquil, creating an image that is both an ode to maternal affection and a testament to the artist's mastery of form and color.

The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the ongoing discussion and reevaluation of Bouguereau's place in the history of art. While his work fell out of favor with the advent of modernism, which rejected the academic values Bouguereau embodied, recent decades have seen a resurgence of interest in his oeuvre, with "Rest" standing as a quintessential example of his artistic legacy.
