American artist Elizabeth Jane Gardner Bouguereau studied under French masters Merle, Lefebvre, and the man who would become her husband, William Adolphe Bouguereau. Perhaps not surprisingly, her work was reminiscent of other great Bouguereau’s. Moses in the Brush is a typical classicist piece with its biblical subject, dramatic use of light and color, and craftsman-like detail. A Mixed-Media painting from Art Chateau.
