The Little Shepherdess by Bouguereau Poster
The Little Shepherdess by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1889, is an oil on canvas full length figure painting of a little girl tending sheep, holding her staff over her shoulders. The classical, academic realism of the shepherdess’ bare feet, skirt, shawl, standing in a pasture with cows grazing in the distance, creates a timeless image of dignity and purity.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) was a French painter who trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and the Villa Medici in Rome. He exhibited with great success in the French Salon and became one of most renowned and wealthy artists of his era. Bouguereau worked in the French Academic tradition, a school of late 19th century modern painters who concentrated on the human figure and classical subjects in highly polished works of optical realism. His main interest was the female figure, usually rendered in classical, finely drawn contours, in subjects that were often sentimental. Bouguereau's reputation diminished greatly in the 20th century with the rise of Modernism, but interest in his traditional figurative paintings has surged again in recent years.

I purchased a print of this painting from the Gilcrease Museaum, where the original painting is kept. When I got it home, the print quality was absolute trash, so I looked online. I was hesitant in purchasing this, given the quality of the print purchased from a museum, but went ahead and bought it on canvas. The canvas print is gorgeous. The image quality is perfect, the look and feel of it is almost as though someone shrunk the painting and sent it to me. Beautiful. The quality is perfect. The only things this print is missing from the original are the size and the brushstrokes.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!
