<p>I think your picture is incomplete at the top. There are two different canvases superimposed, behind a finished painting and a drawing at the front.</p>

<p>I stumbled upon this photo of Bourguereau:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/Ts8fD.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Ts8fD.png" alt="Bouguereau painting in his studio"></a></p>

<p>And I have two questions</p>

<p>1) I tried finding the finished painting but I didn't find it. I used this keywords: pregnant, virgin, saint. No clue of the painting. What's the name of this painting?!</p>

<p>2) I can see that the right side of the canvas is already painted. Did Bourguereau painted by grid cells or similar? or is not the same painting?</p>

I think your picture is incomplete at the top. There are two different canvases superimposed, behind a finished painting and a drawing at the front.
