"Hide and Seek," painted in 1873 by Berthe Morisot, depicts a woman and a young girl in a garden setting. Morisot, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, is known for her focus on domestic scenes and the portrayal of women. The soft brushstrokes and loose composition capture the fleeting light and atmosphere of the outdoors. This artwork is a beautiful example of Morisot's signature style, which emphasizes the intimacy of everyday life and the beauty of the natural world.
