About the piece
Painted in 1869, this masterwork by Berthe Morisot depicts her sister, Edma, in a moment of quiet repose. The painting is a sophisticated example of early Impressionism, utilizing loose, luminous brushwork to capture the play of light on Edma's voluminous white dress and the structured view of the Parisian balcony beyond.
