The bottom right of this picture has six females whose head shined the stars.

What Bouguereau presented in Letoile Lost was Titan Atlas’ seven daughters in Greek mythology who chased by hunter Orion, so Zeus turned them into seven stars. In this painting, Bouguereau focused on the seventh fairy called Melop, it was this seventh star that be highlighted in the close shot. However, the light of the star on her head relatively weak for she has love affair with a man in the earth, on the contrary, the other six stars sparkled at night in the distance.

Like Bouguereau’s other painting, Letoile Lost was painted based on the theme of mythology and allegory, which made he obtained a variety of awards and became the most famous painter in France. His works were high integrity that employed comprehensive techniques and good at presenting sentimental theme.
