Berthe Morisot, c. 1869-73. Creator: Edouard Manet (French, 1832-1883)
Berthe Morisot, c. 1869-73. This painting depicts Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot (1841-1895), who began working closely with Edouard Manet around 1868. She married Manets brother Eugene in 1874. Manet painted Morisots portrait several times, at first presenting her in static poses with neatly styled hair. About 1872 he began painting her in more momentary, fleeting states. In this painting she appears to be moving, her hair disheveled as she throws a furtive glance to the side. Manets sketchy brushwork gives the painting a daring unfinished look, suggesting the tempo of modern life. Morisots pensive, nervous expression suggests that Manet was sympathetic to her struggle for recognition at a time when women were not expected to pursue professional careers. Indeed, Morisots parents were urging her to settle down to a more conventional life at the time
