More about this artwork
Berthe Morisot's "Jeune Fille Au Manteau Vert (Marthe)" (1894) captures a moment of introspective elegance. This watercolor portrays Marthe, her model, dressed in a delicate green coat rich with fur details that exude a soft, plush texture. Marthe's expression is one of gentle contemplation, encapsulating a blend of demureness and confidence—hallmarks of Morisot's skilled depiction of young women.Her gaze slightly averts from the viewer, perhaps lost in thought or pausing in the middle of a conversation. The surroundings hint at a warmly lit interior, possibly her own home, where faint reflections and subtle shadows play across the walls, adding depth and atmosphere. Morisot's masterful use of light watercolors not only contrasts the vibrancy of the green coat but also highlights the luminous complexion of her subject, reflecting the indoor lighting.This piece is a quintessential example of Morisot’s impressionistic style, characterized by its loose brushwork and the portrayal of light and movement in everyday scenes.

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.
