The illness and death of his son Paul
In early 1899 his son Paul contracts tuberculosis, and Paul, his stepmother and Bouguereau go to Menton in the south; when the stay is prolonged, the artist finds a room in which to paint. Paul dies at his father’s house in April 1900, aged 32: Bouguereau has outlived four of his five children, and only Henriette will outlive him.
