The Artist's Sister Edma with Her Daughter Jeanne 1872

Berthe Morisot's "The Artist's Sister Edma with Her Daughter Jeanne" from 1872 captures a tender moment between mother and child. Morisot, a prominent Impressionist painter, often featured women and children in her works, capturing the intimate details of domestic life. The painting depicts Morisot's sister, Edma, seated on a chaise lounge, holding her daughter Jeanne. The loose brushstrokes and pastel palette characteristic of Impressionism create a sense of informality and spontaneity, emphasizing the casual nature of the scene. The soft lighting and focus on the figures' gentle interaction further contribute to the painting's tender and intimate feel.
