"Tricoteuse" (The Little Knitter) is an oil painting by the 19th-century French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, known for his classical and realist style. Created in 1869, this work exemplifies Bouguereau's skill in capturing the delicate features and innocence of children, a subject for which he held particular affection and which became a recurring theme throughout his oeuvre.

The painting depicts a young girl engrossed in the act of knitting, a common domestic task during the period. Bouguereau's attention to detail is evident in the fine rendering of the girl's focused expression and the intricate play of light and shadow on her face and clothing. The artwork is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the quiet concentration of the subject, which is characteristic of Bouguereau's approach to genre scenes involving peasant life.

"Tricoteuse" reflects the broader 19th-century artistic interest in portraying the everyday lives of ordinary people, a theme that was also explored by other realist painters of the time. Bouguereau's work, however, is distinguished by its idealized aesthetic, which often elevated his subjects to a level of classical beauty and harmony.

The painting is part of Bouguereau's extensive body of work, which includes more than 800 paintings. As with many of his pieces, "Tricoteuse" showcases his technical prowess and his ability to convey texture, form, and emotion with precision and elegance. The artwork remains a testament to Bouguereau's enduring popularity and his contribution to the academic art tradition, which continued to be celebrated even as the tides of artistic fashion shifted toward Impressionism and Post-Impressionism at the end of the 19th century.

"Tricoteuse" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been part of private and public collections. Its current location and ownership status, as well as its exhibition history, may be subject to verification and would be included in a comprehensive article on the painting.
