Brian Shapiro recently pointed out that the Bouguereau I posted last week was incomplete (the feet were cut off) and he was right! Here’s what the whole thing looks like. It has a nicer color than the one I found as well. Thanks Brian!
Along the way I also found the following pair of Bouguereau studies on the same site…
Etude de tete de Femme Blonde de, profil , William Bouguereau, c. 1898
Etude de tete de Femme Blonde de, face , William Bouguereau, c. 1898
Speaking of paintings I had not seen before, I found this William Bouguereau (1825-1905) painting that I had not seen before in Christie’s catalog. It’s apparently already in the upcoming catalogue raisonne, though not the ARC site, but I certianly had not encountered it before.
