Portrait of Edma Pontillon 1871

Berthe Morisot's 1871 oil painting, "Portrait of Edma Pontillon," captures the essence of Impressionism. The soft brushstrokes and muted colors create a hazy atmosphere, focusing on the subject's delicate features and elegant attire. Pontillon, a close friend of Morisot, is depicted with a calm and introspective expression, reinforcing the artist's interest in portraying the psychology of her sitters. This portrait is housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France, and offers a glimpse into the intimate world of Impressionist art.
