Description
English: A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. A naked young woman sitting with her arms outstretched, pushing a winged boy. He is Eros or Cupid, the god of love, holding an arrow to pierce her. The title suggests that the young woman tries to defend herself, but she smiles and struggles unconvincingly against the mischievous little god.
Français : Jeune fille se défendant contre Éros, peinture de William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Une jeune femme nue assise avec les bras tendus, repoussant un garçon ailé. Il est Éros ou Cupidon, le dieu de l'amour, tenant une flèche pour la percer. Le titre suggère que la jeune femme essaie de se défendre, mais elle sourit et lutte de manière peu convaincante contre le petit dieu malicieux.
Polski: Młoda Dziewczyna broniąca się przed Erosem, autorstwa W. A. Bouguerea. Naga młoda kobieta siedzi z rozpostartymi ramionami i odpycha uskrzydlonego chłopca. Jest nim Eros lub Kupidyn, bóg miłości. Trzyma on strzałę, za pomocą której chce ją ugodzić. Tytuł obrazu sugeruje, że dziewczyna próbuje się bronić, lecz uśmiecha się i bez przekonania walczy z psotnym małym bogiem.
