About the piece

Created around 1872, this luminous watercolor by Berthe Morisot depicts her sister Edma and niece Jeanne resting at the edge of a forest. Morisot’s characteristic loose brushwork and soft, airy palette evoke a sense of fleeting light and domestic tranquility, typical of her celebrated Impressionist style.
