More about this artwork
The painting depicts a tranquil woodland scene, evoking a sense of gentle wildness and subtle movement through delicate brushstrokes. In it, a cluster of slender trees stands prominently, their trunks painted in light brown and gray hues, showing the interplay of light and shadow that one would find in a forest. The trees’ branches arch gracefully, draped with wispy, green and yellow foliage that suggests the early signs of autumn or the frailty of spring. Light seems to filter through the leaves, creating patches of brightness and dim shades on the forest floor. The background suggests a denser thicket, slightly obscured by the airiness of the foreground, painted with pale washes of blue and green, giving a misty impression of the depth of the woods.

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.
