Oil painting in neoclassical style, titled "Songs of Spring", was painted in 1889 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
It depicts the vision of a young woman in the forest, accompanied by a pair of angels whispering in her ear. It's interesting that the painter chose to dress the girl in Greco-Latin style and purple because this color was reserved only for the emperor. The young woman is not only beautiful and advised by the angels of heaven, but she also possesses authority over others.
This artwork was created four years before the piece called "Youth", which would offer a very similar composition, this time with the maiden covering her ears.
It belongs to a private collection, not displayed to the public.
