More about this artwork
This painting, "Portrait of Berthe Morisot With A Fan," shows the artist Berthe Morisot herself in a very intimate and candid manner. Morisot, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, was known for her loose brushwork and focus on light and movement, which can be observed in this work.The painting features Morisot in a semi-profile view, gazing out of the frame with a direct and engaging expression. Her hair is styled up, some strands delicately framing her face, emphasizing her feminine features. She is dressed in a dark, elegant garment that contrasts sharply with the lighter, more vibrant background and the delicate lace at her chest.The use of color is quite remarkable; the greenish-blue background gives a calming effect, while the darker tones of her dress add a mysterious allure. The touch of pink and white at her chest where the fan is presumably held adds a subtle hint of color that brings a certain liveliness to the portrait.This artwork is a fine example of Morisot’s skilled brushstrokes and her ability to convey depth and personality through her portraits. Such a self-portrait not only showcases her technical prowess but also hints at her self-perception and the personal identity she conveyed through her art.

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.
