More about this artwork

This image appears to be an expressive sketch or etching, rather than a painting, purportedly a self-portrait of the French Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot. The image showcases a woman's face in a semi-profile view, characterized by a direct and slightly intense gaze that engages the viewer.The sketch is rendered in intense, bold lines that emphasize both shadow and texture. The woman's hair is depicted with loose curls, some strands escaping to soften the contours of her face. She wears what appears to be a hat adorned with ribbons, adding an element of the fashionable attire of her time.Her attire, visible in the sketch, includes a high-necked garment with a ruffled collar, suggesting a style from the late 19th century, aligning with Morisot's lifetime. The bold lines and the somewhat somber expression create a mood of contemplation or introspection.Overall, the artwork speaks to the capabilities of the artist not only in capturing physical likeness but also in evoking an emotional or introspective state. This quality of expressing the psyche through physical depiction is one of the hallmarks of Impressionist portraiture, to which Berthe Morisot contributed profoundly.

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.
