About the piece
In this celebrated 1887 portrait, Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures the daughter of Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet. Julie Manet is depicted with a gentle, introspective expression, holding a sleeping tortoiseshell cat. The work exemplifies Renoir's mastery of the Impressionist style, using a delicate palette and soft, feathered brushwork to create a scene of quiet childhood affection.
