I have just been looking at a lot of Bouguereau paintings and I feel like I'm seeing another looking at this. It's simply magnificent. The skin tones are the epitome of beauty. Bouguereau in his red period? I am also intrigued by the high value of the background in the middle of the painting. I couldn't get away with that. I don't know if anyone else could.
Thank you for bringing this artist to my attention. So splendid and so masterful.
