A preparatory study for Bouguereau’s ceiling fresco in the Chapel of the Virgin at La Rochelle. The sketch reveals his meticulous planning of foreshortened figures and divine radiance characteristic of Catholic apotheosis scenes. Note the warm flesh tones contrasting with cool atmospheric perspective typical of his academic technique.
