In this painting by William Bouguereau a young woman is portrayed in a wood by the side of a pool. She is laying with her head on her arms and her body posture and facial expression depicts sadness or remorse. Perhaps she has been betrayed by a loved one, or perhaps the betrayal was hers. Could she be wrecked with guilt?
I have mentioned before that it is my opinion that Bouguereau used the same subjects in several of his works. I believe the case is so with this piece and a later piece entitled Douleur d'amour (Pain d' love.1899). If you study the facial characteristics of the subject you can see a striking resemblance between the two. They both portray a scene of despair. They also both appear to share the same body type being slightly rounded on the hips and carrying a little weight on the thighs.

The above account is my interpretation of the work and should in no way be taken as fact.
