In this painting titled
La jeunesse et l'Amour-Youthfulness
of Love by William Bouguereau a young woman is
crossing a stream using the rocks beneath her feet in what appears to be a
woodland. She has a cherub balancing playfully on her shoulders. He
appears to be slipping and is holding onto her head and left arm while staring
cheekily at her. She is returning his gaze with a look of love and reassurance
in her eyes. She is wearing a silky blue green cloak which hangs loosely behind
her back and to the left of her suggesting that there is a slight breeze blowing
through the woodland. Her breasts also appear to be firm and her nipples are
erect suggesting that she may be feeling the chill of the breeze
.
The above account is my interpretation of the work and should in
no way be taken as fact.
