Little Girl with a Doll 1886

"Little Girl with a Doll" is an oil painting by Berthe Morisot, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. Painted in 1886, this artwork depicts a young girl, likely Morisot's daughter, Julie, with a doll in her lap. The loose brushstrokes and focus on light and color characteristic of Impressionism are evident, particularly in the depiction of the girl's clothing and the soft, hazy background. Morisot's work is known for its intimate portrayal of domestic scenes and female subjects, reflecting the changing social roles of women in the late 19th century.
