Muse, Study 

"Muse, Study" is an oil painting by Jules Bastien-Lepage, a prominent French Realist painter who was known for his depiction of rural life. This painting features a young woman, possibly a muse, standing in a wooded landscape. She is dressed in a flowing white gown and wears a crown of flowers. The painting exemplifies Bastien-Lepage's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the nuances of light and shadow, making the scene appear lifelike and intimate. The natural, yet slightly melancholic ambiance of the painting is typical of Bastien-Lepage's style.
