More about this artwork

"Jeanne Pontillon À La Capeline" is an exquisite portrait by the celebrated French Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot. Dated to 1884, this artwork showcases Morisot's brilliant use of pastel, emphasizing fluid and vigorous strokes that lend a dynamic, yet intimate aura to the portrait.The subject, Jeanne Pontillon, who is believed to be Morisot’s niece, is depicted with a contemplative expression. Her gaze, slightly averted, hints at introspection or perhaps a moment of quietude, drawing viewers into a personal moment. She is adorned with a chic 'capeline' (a type of bonnet), elegantly styled in black and yellow tones, that frames her delicate features and adds a touch of grace to her appearance. The bonnet contrasts beautifully with her light complexion and softly blushed cheeks.Behind her, Morisot uses a sparing but effective palette of greens and greys, creating a nondescript background that keeps the focus firmly on Jeanne herself. This masterful composition not only highlights Morisot’s skill in capturing the essence of her sitter but also reflects the artist’s delicate sensitivity towards color and light.

Landscapes and still life by French impressionist painter Berthe Morisot (1841–1895). She was celebrated for the feminine qualities of her paintings, intuitiveness, spontaneity and delicacy, and she often included her daughter Julie in her paintings. Berthe was married to the brother of Édouard Manet, and some say she was his muse, as she modeled in many of his paintings.
