Innocence

Innocence depicts a young girl standing in a subdued, garden-like setting, shown in a three-quarter view as she faces the viewer with a gentle, direct gaze. She wears a simple light-colored dress with long sleeves, and her hands are held in front of her. The composition centers the figure with smooth, even skin tones and delicate folds in the fabric, set against a restrained palette of creams, beiges, and muted greens against a dark background, reflecting Bouguereau's polished Academic Realism.
