"Portrait of a Woman," Berthe Morisot, 1872-5.
Morisot (1841-95) was a pioneering member of the Impressionists, and one of the "grandes dames" of the movement. While not as admired in this country as her friend Mary Cassatt is, she is still a very respected artist.
The sitter for this portrait is unknown, but many feel it's Morisot's sister Edma (1839-1921), herself an artist and very close to Berthe. Edma and Berthe were trained together and had a studio together, but Edma married and decided to scale back her painting. She did sit for her sister multiple times.
Sadly, only two known paintings by Edma survive; for unknown reasons, she destroyed most of her work after her marriage.
Happy Portrait Monday!
