The theme of the grape harvester inspired the painter William Bouguereau (see his beautiful painting at the Ny Carlseberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen), and his students as well, notably the Frenchman Léon Perrault, the American Elisabeth Gardner, and the Englishman Edward John Corbett.
Our painting is in the vein of Bouguereau's many portraits of barefoot young girls posing in nature. They also possess a pensive, even melancholic, expression (several of his paintings are titled "Meditation").
Our painting has great charm, particularly due to its beautiful lighting. It certainly bears the mark of a master, although it doesn't appear entirely finished. Pencil lines are visible here and there. The glazes are very thin, the lighting effects are remarkably well applied, and the modeling of certain parts is outstanding (the arms and feet, for example), while other parts are somewhat flat (the hands and face, for example).
