EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a moment of vulnerability and strength as we witness a young girl defending herself against the mischievous Eros. Painted by the talented French artist William Adolphe Bouguereau around 1880, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 81.6 × 57.8 cm (32 1/8 × 22 3/4 in. ). The scene depicted is both enchanting and empowering, showcasing the delicate balance between innocence and resilience. The young girl's determined gaze meets that of Eros, who appears startled by her defiance. Her body language exudes confidence as she raises her arm to shield herself from his arrows of love. Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the softness of the girl's skin and flowing locks with remarkable precision. The subtle play of light adds depth to the composition, highlighting their contrasting emotions. This artwork from Liszt Collection invites us to reflect upon themes such as self-defense, independence, and personal boundaries - timeless concepts that resonate with audiences across generations. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of vulnerability, one can find inner strength to protect oneself against external forces. As we admire this stunning print without commercial intent or mention thereof, let us appreciate Bouguereau's artistic prowess in immortalizing this poignant encounter between youth and desire through his masterful use of color and form.
