"A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros(1880)", Willam Bluguereau

About the Artwork

Let me introduce you to “A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros” by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. This captivating oil-on-canvas painting, created around 1880, depicts a young, nude woman sitting with her arms outstretched, pushing away a winged boy. That mischievous little god is none other than Cupid, the god of love, who holds an arrow poised to pierce her. The title suggests that the young woman tries to defend herself, but her smile and unconvincing struggle reveal the playful tension between desire and resistance. The delicate brushwork and soft colors make this piece a timeless representation of innocence and vulnerability.
