More about this artwork
This evocative piece by the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot, titled "Lake with Rowboat," offers a serene glimpse into a tranquil natural setting. Created between 1888 and 1890, the etching depicts a subtly detailed scene set by a lake. The composition showcases Morisot's skill in rendering the delicate interplay of light and texture, which is a hallmark of her style.Centered in the etching is a slender, leafy tree, elegantly drawn to capture the gentle sway of its branches in the breeze. To the right, the titular rowboat is moored at the water's edge, inviting contemplation about solitary journeys or peaceful retreats. The faint outlines of other trees and foliage in the background, along with a barely discernible structure, suggest the edge of a secluded lake, enhancing the sense of quiet isolation.This work is representative of Morisot's keen ability to capture the ephemeral qualities of everyday scenes, and her masterful etching technique provides a softness that complements the tranquil subject matter.

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.
