About the piece
Painted in 1869, this masterwork by Berthe Morisot depicts her mother and sister in a serene domestic interior. The composition is defined by the striking contrast between the luminous white and deep black dresses, set against a softly patterned sofa and a golden-framed mirror, showcasing Morisot's masterful handling of light.
