"The Elder Sister" is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, completed in 1869. This work is a prime example of 19th-century academic art, showcasing Bouguereau's skill in creating lifelike figures and textures, as well as his ability to capture the tender and serene moments of everyday life. The painting depicts an older sister sitting with her young brother in her lap, gently looking down at him as he gazes back at her. The composition is set outdoors, with a tranquil landscape in the background that complements the peaceful and protective atmosphere of the sibling relationship.

Bouguereau was renowned for his realistic portrayal of the human figure, and "The Elder Sister" is no exception. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the children's features, the softness of their skin, and the intricate folds of their clothing. The painting's idealized beauty is characteristic of Bouguereau's style, which often celebrated classical themes and the innocence of youth.

"The Elder Sister" is held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in Texas, United States. It has been widely admired for its technical excellence and its poignant representation of sibling affection. The work remains an important example of Bouguereau's contribution to French academic painting and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 19th-century European art.
