Fotoreproductie van het schilderij La soeur aînée door Adolphe Williams Bouguereau before 1883

This is a photographic reproduction of "La soeur aînée," a painting by Adolphe William Bouguereau, made before 1883. The image is a photogravure, a printmaking process that uses photography to create an image on a metal plate. This artwork is likely from a catalogue or album of works by Bouguereau. The subject is a young woman holding a child. It showcases Bouguereau's signature Academic style characterized by idealized figures and delicate brushwork, which gained widespread popularity in the late 19th century. This small-scale reproduction of a large-scale painting is a testament to the popularity of Bouguereau's work in the late 19th century.
