Evening Mood (Humeur Nocturne) is an 1882 painting by the French academic painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau, now in the collection of the Havana's Museum of Fine Arts, in Cuba.

In an article for Spatial Vision, Baingio Pinna praises Bouguereau's technical skill, writing:

The female sensuality is mainly due to the realistic representation of the young woman and to the enveloping transparent veil moving slowly all around her body and, at a more primary phenomenal level, also to the sinusoid wavy lines that seem to dance synergistically and harmonically through their good continuation.[1]
