About the piece

Painted circa 1879, this work by Berthe Morisot exemplifies the Impressionist fascination with fleeting light and private domesticity. Using a palette of soft teals, whites, and warm ochres, Morisot employs her signature loose brushwork to create a scene that feels both modern and timeless.
