First Kiss
The bookmark with the detail of the painting "The First Kiss" by William Bouguereau from Austria.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905) was a French academic painter. William Bouguereau was a staunch traditionalist whose realistic genre paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of Classical subjects with a heavy emphasis on the female human body. Although he created an idealized world, his almost photo-realistic style was popular with rich art patrons.
Title: Amor and Psyche/also known as The First Kiss.
Year: 1890.
Technique: oil on canvas.
