The Little Shepherdess by Bouguereau Poster
The Little Shepherdess by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1889, is an oil on canvas full length figure painting of a little girl tending sheep, holding her staff over her shoulders. The classical, academic realism of the shepherdess’ bare feet, skirt, shawl, standing in a pasture with cows grazing in the distance, creates a timeless image of dignity and purity.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) was a French painter who trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and the Villa Medici in Rome. He exhibited with great success in the French Salon and became one of most renowned and wealthy artists of his era. Bouguereau worked in the French Academic tradition, a school of late 19th century modern painters who concentrated on the human figure and classical subjects in highly polished works of optical realism. His main interest was the female figure, usually rendered in classical, finely drawn contours, in subjects that were often sentimental. Bouguereau's reputation diminished greatly in the 20th century with the rise of Modernism, but interest in his traditional figurative paintings has surged again in recent years.

I purchased a print of this painting from the Gilcrease Museaum, where the original painting is kept. When I got it home, the print quality was absolute trash, so I looked online. I was hesitant in purchasing this, given the quality of the print purchased from a museum, but went ahead and bought it on canvas. The canvas print is gorgeous. The image quality is perfect, the look and feel of it is almost as though someone shrunk the painting and sent it to me. Beautiful. The quality is perfect. The only things this print is missing from the original are the size and the brushstrokes.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.
