Rest (Bouguereau)

Rest is an oil-on-canvas painting of 1879 by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

It depicts a young mother with her children in the shade of a tree, with the dome of St Peter's Basilica in Rome in the background.

The composition recalls paintings of the Holy Family by Raphael.
