An academic oil study demonstrating Bouguereau’s rigorous anatomical training at the École des Beaux-Arts. The extended arms create a cruciform tension while soft modeling captures the interplay of light across the deltoids and pectorals. This preparatory work reveals the meticulous layering technique beneath his polished salon paintings.
