Little Girls in the Garden 1885

"Little Girls in the Garden" (1885) by Berthe Morisot depicts two young girls in a garden setting. Morisot, a prominent Impressionist painter, captures a moment of leisure and innocence with her signature loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The girls, one leaning on a fence and the other looking off to the side, create a sense of intimacy and spontaneity, characteristics often associated with Morisot's work. The composition highlights the interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the soft textures of the girls' clothing and the lush greenery of the garden. This artwork, indicative of Morisot's artistic style, exemplifies the Impressionist movement's focus on capturing fleeting moments of everyday life.
