Berthe Morisot | Édouard Manet

Berthe Morisot with a Bouquet of Violets (1872) by Édouard Manet is a striking portrait of the French Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot, who was both a fellow artist and a close associate of Manet. In this work, Morisot is dressed in elegant black attire, including a black hat, and the simplicity of her clothing contrasts beautifully with the softness of her features. Manet’s brushwork is expressive, capturing Morisot’s grace and poised demeanour with subtle elegance. The portrait reflects the deep respect and admiration Manet had for Morisot, as well as his ability to render intimate portraits with an emphasis on naturalism and personality, typical of his Impressionist approach.
