The Proposal 1872 William Bouguereau French The motif of a young man at a window, wooing a woman at her spinning wheel, and the vaguely sixteenth-century German costumes and setting, led writers to associate this painting with the tragic story of Faust and Marguerite. The seduction of the innocent heroine by the wicked Faust was a popular pictorial subject in the nineteenth century, inspired by Goethes dramatic poem and its operatic staging by Charles Gounod. Regardless of the lovers identities, the lushly painted, romantic scene would have appealed to Bouguereaus well-heeled clientele.. The Proposal. William Bouguereau (French, La Rochelle 1825-1905 La Rochelle). 1872. Oil on canvas. Paintings
