Paule Gobillard | Berthe Morisot

Paule Gobillard en Robe de Bal (1887) by Berthe Morisot is a luminous Impressionist portrait of her niece, Paule Gobillard, dressed in an elegant ball gown. Morisot masterfully captures the delicate femininity and refinement of her subject, using soft, flowing brushstrokes and a light, pastel colour palette. The young woman appears poised yet introspective, embodying the grace and sophistication of 19th-century Parisian society. The play of light on the delicate fabric of her dress and the subtle expression on her face reflect Morisot’s keen eye for portraying both fashion and emotion in her portraits.
