Julie and Her Boat 1884

Berthe Morisot's "Julie and Her Boat" (1884) is a watercolor painting that captures the innocence of childhood. The young girl, possibly the artist's daughter Julie, is depicted seated with a toy boat in her lap, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. Morisot's Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and the use of light and color to evoke a sense of atmosphere and movement. The painting's soft, dreamy quality emphasizes the fleeting nature of childhood, a common theme in Morisot's work.
