The Meditation

The Meditation shows a young woman in a white, flowing garment standing against a soft, atmospheric landscape of pale blues and purples. Her dark hair is braided over one shoulder, and her hands are folded across her chest in a contemplative pose as she gazes slightly toward the viewer. The painting embodies Bouguereau’s Academic realism with polished, smooth brushwork, luminous skin tones, and delicately rendered folds in the fabric, set against a softly blurred natural background.
