Published by Art Journal

About this Item

The print titled "Watch and Ward" depicts a tender and intimate scene between a mother and child. The image is based on a painting by the renowned French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and the steel engraving was executed by Bertinot. The central focus is a young woman, likely the mother, sitting in a thoughtful pose as she gazes down at the nude infant resting in her lap. The woman's expression conveys a sense of care and protectiveness, while the child's serene countenance suggests a moment of peace and tranquility. The composition is framed by drapery, creating a sense of seclusion and privacy. The engraving work captures the delicate textures of the fabric, skin, and facial features, imbuing the scene with a sense of warmth and intimacy. This print was likely part of a series or collection showcasing Bouguereau's mastery of academic and genre painting.
