Print entitled ?Charity?. By: William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)
This picture is an outstanding reproduction of a pencil drawing by Gilder. This excellently rendered piece is masterful display of smooth gradation of color contrasted against sharp changing contrast. An excellent use of atmospheric perspective gives this picture depth and is well composed. The picture is appropriately framed in a sleek, black wood frame that trimmed with a thin line of gold to offset the black and white and add a little color to the piece. The entire size of this piece is 12.25? x 15.25?, an excellent buy at a great price.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau was born in La Rochelle.
A student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he won the Prix de Rome in 1850 and his realistic genre paintings and mythological themes were exhibited in the annual exhibitions of the Paris Salon for his entire working life. Although he fell into disregard in the early 20th century, due perhaps to his staunch opposition to the Impressionists, there is a new appreciation for his work. In his lifetime, Bouguereau painted eight hundred and twenty-six paintings.
At a rather advanced age, Bouguereau married for the second time, with fellow artist Elizabeth Jane Gardner Bouguereau, one of his pupils. He also used his influence to open many French art institutions to women for the first time, including the Académie française.
