About the piece

Painted in 1885, Berthe Morisot’s 'The Cage' captures a domestic scene with the light, airy touch characteristic of French Impressionism. The composition features a rounded birdcage and a porcelain bowl of vibrant flowers, executed with feathered strokes and a soft, luminous palette typical of the artist’s mature style.
