Interior

Berthe Morisot depicts an interior scene with her characteristic loose brushwork and luminous color. The domestic setting reflects her focus on private life and the feminine sphere of nineteenth-century bourgeois society.

Morisot married Eugène Manet, brother of Édouard, placing her at the center of the Impressionist circle. Her feathery brushstrokes and soft tones created an atmospheric quality that distinguished her work. Critics increasingly recognize her as one of the movement's most innovative painters.
