Catalogue Note
In the same way that William-Adolphe Bouguereau often drew inspiration from sculpture compositions for his paintings, sculptors were inspired by his work as well. L'amour Vaiqueur was painted in 1886; the painting sold at Christie's, New York, May 25, 1984, lot 79, and is now housed in a private collection.
