More about this artwork
We are delighted to feature Berthe Morisot's exquisite pastel work, Portrait D’enfant (Charly Thomas), created in 1826. This captivating piece of art displays Morisot's incredible finesse with pastels, presenting the tender visage of a young boy named Charly Thomas in a dialogue of muted hues and soft lines.The painting captures the subtle complexity of a child’s expression with striking emotional depth. Charly's large, thoughtful eyes gazing slightly off to the left, and his slightly parted lips suggest a moment of introspection or quiet observation. His blue garment, perhaps a hint of his youthful innocence, complements the gentle tones of his complexion. Morisot’s skilled brushwork flourishes in the delicate details around the cheeks and hair, revealing her mastery in portraying human emotion and character.Through this portrait, Morisot not only presents a visual representation of Charly but also evokes a sense of the serene and reflective nature of youth. This piece serves as a timeless reflection on childhood, rendered through the expert hands of one of the finest artists of her time.

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.
