"A Young Girl Defending Herself Against Love" is a painting by French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1880. The painting depicts a young girl standing on a stone bench with her arms outstretched as if to ward off the advances of Cupid, the god of love.

Bouguereau was known for his highly polished, academic style, and "A Young Girl Defending Herself Against Love" is a prime example of his approach. The painting is meticulously detailed, with the girl's dress and the surrounding foliage rendered in exquisite detail.

The painting is often interpreted as a representation of the struggle between reason and emotion, with the girl standing in for reason and Cupid representing emotion and desire. The girl's stern expression and defensive posture suggest that she is determined to resist Cupid's advances, even as he gazes at her with a playful smile.

Despite the serious subject matter, the painting is also notable for its beauty and elegance. Bouguereau was a master of capturing the grace and beauty of the human form, and "A Young Girl Defending Herself Against Love" is a testament to his skill in this regard.

Today, the painting is housed in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and remains a popular example of Bouguereau's work.
