Étude de la tête 1898

"Étude de la tête" is an oil painting created in 1898 by the French Academic artist William Bouguereau. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the human figure, Bouguereau's work often depicted idealized subjects in classical settings. This study of a young woman's head showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The painting's subject matter, a youthful and elegant woman, reflects the prevailing aesthetic sensibilities of the late 19th century.
