Between Wealth and Love (1869)
Between Wealth and Love, painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1869, shows the oldest bargain in the world. An old merchant leans in with a casket of gold and a string of pearls draped over his fingers. A young musician leans in with nothing but his open hand. Between them a girl sits perfectly still, hands folded tight in her lap, eyes fixed somewhere neither man can follow. She is not weighing the offers. She is enduring them.Bouguereau's rendering of skin and hands was the most admired in France, and he spends all of it on the two small hands that refuse to choose. The painting went from his easel to the Paris Salon and across the ocean in a single year, bought by New York collector James H. Stebbins in December 1869, and it has lived in private collections ever since. You cannot see it in any museum. This canvas is the only way to live with it.Museum grade giclee on 380gsm cotton canvas, hand stretched over kiln dried pine, ready to hang. 100 day returns, free tracked shipping, lifetime color warranty.
