Lost to scholars for the past 90 years, “The Cherry Picker” recently resurfaced in the hands of Baltimore native Dorothy Bair.

“The reappearance of this major canvas by 19th-century French academic painter William Adolphe Bouguereau is pretty rare,” said Curator Eik Kahng of the Walters Art Museum, where Bair donated Bouguereau’s portrait of a blond cherubic little girl on her tip-toes, reaching for a handful of ripe cherries.
