William-Adolphe Bouguereau's "The Wave" is such a lovely vision of the sea, the sensuality of its endless caresses, highlighted by a fair and lovely girl about to be immersed on the sandy shore.

@adamasnemesis That looks incredibly chilly. 🥶
@chiasm @adamasnemesis What always irks me are the situational details of these paintings which I just cannot "unsee": 1) she's very relaxed, as if she was sitting there since at least 5 minutes and just looks back at the painter/viewer; at the same time 2) she's completely dry, not a drop of water on her body anywhere; while 3) waves keep coming and going and splashing around like every 5 seconds or so.
So something clearly is off... 🤔
