Young Woman and Child, Avenue du Bois 1876

Berthe Morisot's "Young Woman and Child, Avenue du Bois" (1876) is a quintessential Impressionist painting capturing a fleeting moment in a Parisian park. The loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors characteristic of the movement are evident, creating a hazy atmosphere. The composition focuses on the elegant figure of a young woman, possibly the artist herself, with a child seated beside her, their faces subtly illuminated by the dappled sunlight. Morisot's portrayal of women and children in domestic settings was a hallmark of her art, reflecting the social and cultural changes of her time.
