About The Elder Sister (La soeur aînée) WilliamAdolphe Bouguereau Realism Paintings
The painting shows a girl, "the elder sister" sitting on a rock and holding a sleeping baby on her lap. A quiet rural landscape serves as the background. For this scene, Bouguereau's daughter, Henriette, and son, Paul, served as models. Bouguereau used great care and attention in drawing the children's features and the positioning of their bodies, giving them an idyllic look. The girl's eyes look directly at the viewer and both children are shown with immaculate clothing. The painting has become one of the most notable highlights among the museum's collection of paintings. About the Large Art Prints
