Fillette À L’orange 1868

"Fillette À L’orange" (1868) by Léon Bazile Perrault (1832-1908) is a charming portrait of a young girl. The girl's bright, innocent gaze and rosy cheeks are emphasized against a dark background. Her delicate features and playful demeanor are captured with a gentle touch, highlighting the sweetness of childhood. The composition features the girl holding a bright orange, creating a striking contrast and adding a touch of whimsy to the painting. Perrault's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, and the overall style reflects the realistic tendencies of 19th-century portraiture.
