Fine Art Friday


The Broken Pitcher
by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905), French


This print has been in my home since 1981. I love the dark eyes of the girl and the light on the pitcher. Too many moves and sunlit rooms have faded my print to muted burgundy and teal, and I miss the rich colors in the shawl and surrounding foliage.

The brilliant idea that is Fine Art Friday comes courtesy of Magistramater, an enjoyable and interesting site to visit regularly.
