Bouguereau French (1825-1905)
Redhair in painting by Bourguereau


William Bouguereau is considered as one of the greatest painter. If Rembrandt is said to have captured the soul of age, Bouguereau is said having captured the soul of youth and the tender and subtlest nuances of personality and mood. Red hair women and childs were among his favorite models.
