This image looks so simple but every time I look at it I see something so minute that this artist did daily. What I mean is; we look and see a complete feature, the hair, the eyes, the skin, the blouse. Bouguereau painted such amazing detail. He painted it so perfectly that it is so true that we only notice it if we are looking closely. Every fly away hair, the perfect skin, light, shadow, lace. Well, if you are so fortunate to be able to view an original, don’t just view it from afar. Walk up as close as permitted and look at how precise his brushstrokes. Observe the skin tones and how supple they are. See how real and amazing his figures are. You can almost see them breathing. I am speechless. Diana
