More about this artwork

Delve into the captivating world of French Impressionism with Berthe Morisot's poignant sketch, "Peasant Girl", crafted in 1890. This exquisite work, rendered in soft red pencil on a warm, ochre paper, exemplifies Morisot’s deft hand and sensitive portrayal of her subjects.The painting captures a young girl in mid-gaze, her features outlined with gentle yet confident strokes, suggesting both innocence and a budding self-awareness. The girl's eyes, slightly asymmetrical, hold a gaze that seems to extend beyond the viewer, hinting at a world of thoughts behind her quiet exterior. Her attire is simple, characteristic of peasant wear, yet rendered with a dignity that elevates the subject from mere rural portrait to a study in grace and humanity.Morisot's use of minimalistic detail focuses attention on the girl’s face and expression, while the unfinished quality of the drawing invites viewers to imagine the life and times surrounding the young subject. This sketch not only showcases Morisot’s skill as an artist but also her empathy and respect for her subjects, traits that have cemented her as a pivotal figure in the Impressionist movement.

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.
