“In Fardeau Agréable, as in nearly all of Bouguereau’s work, the industrial age is not evident, no buildings mar the landscape, and no smoke clouds the skies of the imagined Arcadia. Bouguereau raises his figures above the harsh truth of day-to-day existence in the French peasant countryside and exalts the joy and tenderness of youth and the beauty of nature.”
