More about this artwork
The painting titled "Portrait of Berthe Morisot With a Fan" captures an intimate and evocative image of the artist herself, Berthe Morisot. The artwork is characterized by its loose brushwork and subtle interplay of light and shadow, typical of Morisot’s impressionist style.In the portrait, Morisot is depicted in a semi-profile view, gazing out toward the viewer with a contemplative or reflective expression. Her dark, flowing garments, adorned with floral details and lace, contribute to a sense of depth and texture, enhancing the overall delicacy of the composition. These elements contrast beautifully with the lighter, hazier background, which is rendered in muted tones.What makes this portrait particularly striking is the way Morisot holds a fan, an accessory that was commonly associated with femininity and elegance during the 19th century. The way she handles the fan—lightly between her fingers—adds a graceful touch, reinforcing the gentle ambiance of the painting.Overall, the portrait not only showcases Morisot’s skill as an artist but also serves as a reflective piece, capturing the essence of her identity both as a woman and as a painter during the Impressionist era.

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.
